Policy 26

ONLINE LEARNING

The Board of Education is committed to providing a quality Online Learning experience for school-aged and adult students within the Saanich School District and beyond District borders, pursuant to Ministry of Education permission to offer Online Learning.  The Board is committed to offering and supporting courses and programs within the District’s Online Learning program so that students can achieve their educational goals.

Online Learning provides an opportunity for students and families to exercise choice with respect to the environment, methods and structures through which students are able to achieve their educational goals.  Online Learning provides a different access to an educational program for those students desiring flexibility beyond the traditional classroom environment.

The Board believes that it is also important to provide an option for adult learners who are in pursuit of their graduation requirements and acknowledges the importance of Online Learning as one such option.
