Night School Course Offerings (Remote Learning)

These courses are offered through a mixture of synchronous (80%) and asynchronous (20%) instruction. The synchronous component of classes will be using either Brightspace D2L or Google Classroom with Zoom or Google Meet. Synchronous Learning occurs when the teacher interacts with a student or group of students in real-time either online or through other means in relation to the course content, lessons, or assessment tools. Students are expected to be connected to their class during the posted times.

Please note: Remote learning credit courses cannot be used to satisfy the Online Learning Graduation requirement.

Each credit course is 94.5 hours (27 Sessions X 3.5 hours).

Saturday School Course Offerings (Remote and In-Person Learning)

Students may take classical or international language courses in any grade of secondary school. For this reason, progression is indicated by levels rather than grades. Classical languages and international languages are all offered at three levels in Grades 9 to 12.

Courses at Level 1 are intended to interest students in studying the language and to provide a basis for acquiring and applying more advanced skills at Levels 2 and 3. Students may take courses at Levels 2 and 3 if they have completed the prerequisites.

The Continuing Education Department offers in-person courses at the Academic and University levels. Each credit course is 94.5 hours (27 Sessions X 3.5 hours).
