School Overview

Vancouver Home Connection (VHC) is a public school program within the Vancouver Public Schools district that offers a unique hybrid model for K–12 students. It is designed for families who choose to homeschool or who prefer a flexible, independent study environment but still want access to district resources. The program provides a blend of high-quality classroom instruction and parent-directed home learning, allowing families to customize their child’s educational experience while maintaining a connection to a structured school community.

The school operates with a focus on collaborative partnerships between professional teachers and parents. On-site classes are typically offered part-time, covering a range of core academic subjects and enrichment activities, while the remainder of the curriculum is completed at home under the guidance of parents. By offering this balance, Vancouver Home Connection provides the flexibility of homeschooling with the benefits of public school curriculum, extracurricular opportunities, and access to state-certified educators.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
