Sark will no longer offer education beyond year eight at its only school.
The government voted to end education for over-13s citing concerns with the quality of education and economic viability.
Most of the island's pupils will now have to move to Guernsey for their secondary education, and be placed with host families.
The accommodation costs will be paid for partially by the carers of the children, depending on how long they have attended the school.

Jersey's chief minister has said he hopes to find a site for the new hospital within the next 18 months.
Senator John Le Fondre's plans for a new hospital on the current site at Gloucester Street have been abandoned, with around £30m already spent on the project.
Ministers intend to pinpoint a site and outline the business case by the end of 2020.
Net migration figures released
Adam Durbin
BBC News Online
Net migration into Jersey has been estimated at 1,100 in 2018, a population increase of 1%, according to a new government report.
This is proportionally higher than net migration for the UK, estimated by the Office of National Statistics at 0.4%.
A natural increase of 100 when comparing births with deaths meant that the population grew by 1,200.
The island's population has increased by 11,400 since 2008 to reach 106,800, of which 78% were immigrants.
Approximately 400 of those who arrived were 'licensed employees' and their dependents, meaning that they are considered essential by their employer.
Chief minister to take 'new approach' on hospital plans
Chris Quevatre
BBC News Online
Jersey's chief minister claims he's taking a different approach towards planning the island's new hospital.
Senator John Le Fondré has been in his current role for a year and during that time has dropped plans for the hospital to be built on its current site, spending about £30m in the process.
He said the new team involved in the planning process is motivated and believes that things need to be done in a different way.
Quote Message: The new head of health, the director-general, who I think is excellent, and the relatively new head for the hospital who I also think is excellent, are very motivated on this whole area. They're very clear that things need to be done in a different way - and that is happening. from Senator John Le Fondré Chief Minister, Jersey
