If you are new to home based education, you've come to the right place and if you have further questions, post them here as someone will know the answers! I've attached 'links' to the various sites, that I felt would be helpful, to navigate the sea of legal issues that you might be experiencing. In this section, you will find links that directly affect you, such as the laws pertaining to home based learning, the various school boards in our region, articles on homeschooling, and much more.
J'ai attaché les 'liens aux divers emplacements', cela que je me suis senti serais utile, pour diriger la mer des issues légales que vous pourriez éprouver. Dans cette section, vous trouverez les liens qui vous affectent directement, tel que les lois concernant l'étude basée par maison, les divers panneaux d'école dans notre région, des articles sur homeschooling, et beaucoup plus.

CEGEP
This next section deals with CEGEP and what qualifications are necessary for continued education in Quebec. The Ministère de l'Éducation states --
'Vocational education is open to both young people and adults. Three types of programs are offered: programs leading to a Diploma of Vocational Studies (DVS, replacing the Secondary School Vocational Diploma as of July 1, 1998); programs leading to an Attestation of Vocational Specialization (AVS); and programs leading to a Vocational Education Certificate (VEC).'

I also found this pamphlet put out by SWLSB, in 2005-2006, to encourage young people to return to the education system. Information is located on page 5. Very useful information on French programs and diploma Vocational Studies.

Found this too!
'If you live in Québec and are at least 16 years of age, you can contact the adult education centre at the school board in your region to take the Secondary School Equivalence Examinations (SSEEs) that will allow you to obtain an Attestation of Equivalence of Secondary V Studies (AESS).'
