Correspondence courses are available for individuals whose schedule does not permit them to attend classes in person.
A
wide range of high school courses are available to allow students to
earn credits and complete their Ontario Secondary School Diploma.
Correspondence courses are available to students who are 18 years of age
or older and are not enrolled full time in a secondary school program. Correspondence courses are offered as either hard copy booklets or as online courses.
Each
course consists of a 20 lessons. Students complete the lesson material and
hand in the key questions at the end of each unit.
Lessons are marked by a certified
teacher and are either handed in at your local learning center or submitted online depending on the mode of delivery you have chosen. Once the lessons are marked, they are returned to the Learning
Centres where they can be picked up by the student or feedback is provided in the online learning environment.
Upon
completion of all hard copy units the student writes a final exam at their local learning centre. Online students must complete a culminating task in the online learning environment. A passing
grade must be achieved to be successful in the course. After completing
the final exam a course mark is calculated and a report card is
provided.
Students have six months from the date of enrolment to
complete a course (including final exam). There must be work submitted
every month to remain enrolled in the course. Students may only be
enrolled in one course at a time.
