Highschool Onsite & Virtual Programs

This club is similar to a traditional PE class. A variety of team sports are explored for several weeks each throughout the year. There are also several Health related topics covered each term. Participants can share about these activities in their online Physical and Health Education Canvas course in order to earn course credit.

The Homeroom HUB 8/9 program helps us bridge the transition from elementary or middle to high school with one dedicated homeroom teacher overseeing a blended program of face to face and virtual instruction for every detail of the following courses:

• English
• Social Studies
• Science
• Careers
• Applied Design Skills and Technology (similar to exploratory electives like woodwork, foods, etc.)

In this Virtual version, learners attend two virtual class per weeks, and will have many opportunities to interact with the Virtual teacher to ensure understanding. Classes include learning activities such as group work, project-based learning, exploring online interactive tools, and other strategies for further developing each of the curricular competencies. Learners connect with peers across BC as they meet virtually with their amazing cohort, then the teacher will provide instruction through Canvas and Zoom to complete all required work between classes. Other specialist teachers will contribute to some lessons. You can elect for online or possibly individualized courses for those not covered in the HUB program (Art, PHE, Math, and Languages), and your Homeroom teacher may be able to oversee some of these. The key here is a Christ-centered school community with mentorship, relationship, and belonging, as your child and your family continue to grow together with us in grace and knowledge. Requires Enrolment in RCOA
