Frequently Ask Questions

Online school works basically the same as an in-person school. Students have to log into the learning platform to be counted as present, and work through the lessons and units, handing in assignments by specified due dates. As with in-person learning there is a teacher assigned to the class to answer questions, hold office hours, and mark work. The difference is that the course is designed for the student to work at their own pace, and availability, so it is beneficial for self-regulated learners, athletes or students with other reasons why they cannot attend regular school. Online school is also great for getting extra credits to free up room in your timetable if you are an in-school student to take classes you need but may not have room for.
