Civics Co-op Course/Small School: Student Workbook and Digital Resources
The homeschool course, "Canadian Civics: Purposeful, Informed, and Active Citizenship," is also available for use in homeschool co-ops!
This option is specifically for students who will be a part of a Canadian Civics Co-op. Your teacher/co-op leader will likely have directed you to this link.
In this course, you will explore what it means to live as a Christian in community within an ever-changing Canadian culture. The course emphasizes the importance of being a purposeful, informed and active citizen. You will learn about the elements of democracy and the meaning of democratic citizenship in local, provincial, national, and global contexts. In addition, you will learn about other systems of government, discuss social change, examine decision-making processes in Canada, explore beliefs and perspectives on civic questions, and practice thinking and acting critically and creatively about public issues. Most importantly, this course will encourage you to become actively involved in influencing decisions and initiating positive change.
