About

Students who wish to do schooling this way must be organized, motivated and be able to budget their time well.  Reading and comprehension skills are a must as the course work is self directed.  Students have to read through and understand the concepts that are covered.

Outreach programs operate outside of the traditional school environment. Alberta Education requires that outreach schools operate in stand-alone sites.

Outreach students register directly at the CAVE and attend classes at the CAVE. With teacher assistance, Outreach students:

• build their own individualized programs from Alberta Education-approved distance learning and locally designed materials;
• set their own long and short-term goals in order to complete the requirements for a high school diploma;
• work independently at a pace set out by the teachers responsible for the course.

Instruction is provided through a variety of methods, including:

• one-on-one instruction; when booked with the teacher
• online instruction via moodle, google or other online formats.  (course dependant)

The Virtual Program serves students from all Aspen View Public Schools who are experiencing timetable conflicts or shortfalls in their graduation or post-secondary requirements. Virtual students remain registered in their community schools throughout the division, and use the CAVE courses to supplement what is being offered in the schools. Virtual students attend classes at their community schools and communicate with the teachers at the CAVE virtually.

Instruction is provided through:

• primarily online instruction;
• occasionally, the Virtual teachers will schedule face-to-face meetings with the Virtual students and will travel to the students’ schools to provide one-on-one support.
