Virtual Courses

Our courses are designed so that students are able to work through the program at their own pace as permitted by their schedules. With so much uncertainty in the coming school year, this allows for maximum flexibility for the student to reach ahead in a manageable way.

Upon enrolment, students will be assigned a teacher that will be their learning partner until the completion of the course. All teachers are Ontario certified teachers and will be subject experts in the specific course of study.

The teacher’s role will be to facilitate the virtual learning through the differentiated instruction techniques in the course, and be available to the student throughout the program. The same teacher will assess the student’s work and provide descriptive feedback in line with the Ontario Ministry of Education Growing Success expectations.

Enrolment is on a continuous intake basis and one of our amazing teachers is waiting to facilitate the course as your learning partner.

These themes can then be applied to an examination of your own world, from the building where you live to your local community and beyond.
