This program is a blend of face-to-face and at-home learning. Students who enroll in this program commit to participating in face-to-face learning at school two days per week and at-home learning three days per week. This teacher lead programming focuses on place-based and project-based learning. Students are supervised by a BC certified teacher and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with their peers. The Grade 10 Cohort program operates from September to June with in-person school days on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
In addition to some independent study units, students will take part in several project-based learning opportunities including web design, public speaking, engineering, real world issues, entrepreneurship, and community involvement. Project-based learning has been proven to deepen student knowledge and engagement. One of the many benefits of project-based learning is that it is cross-curricular, allowing that one project will include the study of multiple subjects.
