The ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ offers a number of online courses during the school year. All students who are currently attending an ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ high school are eligible for these courses with the approval of their high school administration. Prospective online students who are not currently attending an ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ school must seek alternative options. Various circumstances can make online courses an appropriate option for some students:

  • an interest in learning through this delivery method
  • course conflict
  • full schedule
  • course not offered at their home school
  • school absence due to illness/surgery, elite athletics, etc.

What to Expect

Taking a course online is challenging and requires students to be willing to commit the same amount of time as they typically would in a face-to-face classroom environment. Past experience indicates that interested students should possess the following characteristics:

  • capable of an appropriate level of independent learning
  • excellent time management skills
  • a willingness to reach out to a teacher via Microsoft Teams or email to ask questions and communicate. 

Online course delivery tools called Brightspace and Microsoft TEAMS are used to deliver course content. Teachers provide students with course outlines, assignments, tests and feedback using Brightspace and communicate via Teams. Course content is available on the Internet at all times.

The following courses will be offered:

  • Applied Mathematics 30S
  • Applied Mathematics 40S
  • Essentials Mathematics 30S
  • Essentials Mathematics 40S
  • English Comprehensive Focus 30S
  • English Comprehensive Focus 40S
  • English Transactional Focus 40S
  • History 30F
  • English Physical Education 30F & 40F
  • Francais Physical Education 30F & 40F (first semester only)
  • Biology30S and 40S (first semester only)

Candidates for the Program

Ideally, students interested in registering for an online course should be self-motivated, capable of independent learning and have excellent time management skills. Students will be responsible for meeting deadlines, completing assignments and contributing to online discussions while working in the online environment. Students will have a school contact teacher to facilitate communication and provide additional support. Finally, students must be currently attending an ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ School.

Application forms can be obtained from an ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ high school's Students Service Department.
