Online Courses

Our online credits are taught by experienced online educators and offer the perfect blend of synchronous and asynchronous activities to keep learners engaged and on track. Weekly synchronous lessons and multiple extra help opportunities allow students to interact with their teacher and check their learning in real time.

Independent asynchronous tasks allow students to work at their own pace and organize their time in a way that works with their own schedule. All synchronous activities will be recorded and available to any students who are unable to attend a live lesson. 

Our online credits are a fantastic option for students wishing to take control of their own learning. Courses will begin January 24, 2022, and will finish June 10, 2022. 

Please note: Each program has limited space. Minimum numbers must be reached to run our summer school programs. Students will be responsible for purchasing required online textbooks.

Global Leadership, Grade 12 (IDC4U)


This course will explore theories of leadership, privilege, social and geographical context and human interaction to help students develop and understand their opportunities to actively engage with the world around them, and to enact change locally and internationally.  They will learn how to select strategies to define problems, research alternative solutions, assess their thinking in reaching decisions and adapt to change as they acquire new knowledge.  Students will investigate concepts of change, implementation and design to develop a scalable, measurable action plan.  They will be responsible for enacting this plan, and iterating or pivoting where necessary to achieve their stated goals. Students will work towards a final pitch presentation where they will integrate graphics and text, using technology appropriately for formatting and special effects.  They will also assess their own cognitive and affective strategies, apply general skills in both familiar and new contexts, create innovative products, and communicate new knowledge.
