No. Whether you are online or in school your classes will cover the Alberta Curriculum. Some students find it easier to do online classes as they can learn at their own pace and at a time that works for them.

Traditional Home Education is a home-learning program designed for parents who have the desire to plan, teach, and support their children's learning. Parents have the flexibility and ownership to develop and select learning opportunities that best meet their children's individual needs and are in charge of all aspects of their child's learning. A certified teacher facilitates and supports your learning program throughout the year. Within the Traditional Home Education program, there are two formal evaluations that allow families to showcase their plans and learning progress.
Teacher-led Home Education is an engaging a-synchronous online program that follows the Alberta Program of Studies. Teachers plan, assess, and provide continuous feedback throughout the year as they support your child through their year of learning. The Teacher-Led Home Education program includes individualized learning options and supports diverse learners in math, language arts, social, and science subjects.
Blended Home Education is a shared responsibility learning option incorporating a combination of Traditional and Teacher-Led programs. Parents pick two subjects they want their child to learn online through the teacher-led program and then take on the teaching responsibilities for the other two subjects.

For diploma exams, you will have to write in Strathmore or another writing center of your choice. We do open a writing center in Calgary if we have enough students to warrant doing so. If you are from somewhere else in the province you will have to check with the local school or writing center to see if they will allow you to write your diploma exam there. Diploma exams are not optional and must be written in order to receive a mark.
For grade 6 and 9 students writing Provincial Achievement Tests, we can try our best to find a school close to your home that has room to accommodate you.

Yes, every semester there is a deadline to withdraw without penalty. After that, there is a $250 withdrawal fee that will be charged for every class you drop.
If you have already taken a course and wish to improve your mark, you can retake the course with us. Instead of redoing the whole course you can do parts of it that you didn't do well on last time (your teacher will decide what you redo). You must redo at least 50% of the course, but may need to do more depending on your goals.
