Home Education Through Sea to Sky Online

Students in the Graduation Program (grades 10 to 12) may enrol exclusively in Sea to Sky Online or cross-enrol between their local school for in-class instruction and Sea to Sky Online for some of their courses.

 

The Ministry of Education’s Distributed Learning Policy states that students enrolled in Kindergarten to grade 9 are full time students and the online learning:

  • may learn at home;
  • are enrolled in a public school;
  • are obligated to meet prescribed learning standards and/or outcomes in Provincial or Board/Authority Approved courses;
  • must use only learning resources recommended by the Ministry of Education or approved by the Board;
  • must have a teacher certified by the BC Teacher Regulation Branch leading their educational program, including assignment and assessment of activities;
  • are issued formal student progress reports by the online school; and,
  • participate in provincial assessments (Foundation Skills Assessment and provincial graduation assessments).

In this option students enroll with Sea to Sky Online (SSO) intending to remain in the program for the duration of the school year or longer. Students are supervised at home by their parent or guardian and the education program is developed and supported online by an SD48 teacher through:

  • a personalized student learning plan;
  • regular contact (google classroom, email, etc.);
  • weekly face to face contact online; and,
  • monthly in person meetings in your community.
