Virtual Education Program

Parents who wish to access programming from an Alberta certificated teacher, following the Alberta Program of Studies, have a variety of options:

Grade 10 to 12 teacher-directed students have access to both synchronous and asynchronous programing:

• Synchronous courses are delivered through PRSD’s Grade 10-12 Virtual Education Program (VEP) where courses are timetabled by semester and students are required to join live virtual classes through Google Meet at set times each day with other students.  Students require a compatible device such as a Chromebook, laptop, or desktop computer with a working webcam and microphone, and consistent high speed internet able to support Google Meets.  For more information or further details, please contact us.
• Asynchronous courses are delivered through Peace Regional Outreach Campus and the Fairview and Area Learning Store where students are able to set flexible timelines and access support from teachers as needed either in-person, over the phone, or through Google Meet.  Courses can be started and completed almost any time during the school year and most are available in paper or online formats.  For more information or further details, please contact us.
• Students are able to take a combination of synchronous and asynchronous courses to best-meet their educational needs.  Please note that for both synchronous and asynchronous courses, some assessments will need to be completed and supervised in-person at an approved site such as the nearest PRSD school.

Grade 4 to 9 teacher-directed students have access to asynchronous programing. 

• Teacher-directed students have access to asynchronous programming that is complemented by regularly scheduled Google Meet support check-ins with their teacher.
• Students access asynchronous online courses from home and work at their own pace with regularly scheduled Google Meet support check-ins from their teacher.  Students require a compatible device such as a Chromebook, laptop, or desktop computer with a working webcam and microphone, and consistent high speed internet able to support Google Meets for teacher check-ins.  A home printer and scanner is not usually required, but some students may prefer to complete some activities on paper and submit them online.  For more information or further details, please contact us.
• Please note that some assessments may need to be completed and supervised in-person at an approved site such as the nearest PRSD school.  For younger students and those needing additional support, regular parental supervision and support is required for student success.

Grade 1 to 3 teacher-directed programming is not available at this time.
