Asynchronous Courses

Coordinator: Laurie Anne Vermette

Occasionally, the division offers asynchronous courses outside of the Applied Commerce and Advanced Placement streams. Students will complete materials (videos, lessons, readings, assignments, assessments) independently following the lessons posted in the classroom stream. Tutorial times are provided to allow students to ask questions in addition to regular feedback.

If students have specific learning needs, they are to discuss them with their Resource Teacher and Program Coordinator to request adaptations/accommodations. 

Registration is conducted during course registration each spring through your student's school. 

Canadian Law 40S: 

Law encompasses all of the rules that are created and enforced by governments to regulate the behaviour of all members of society, as well as the relationships between them. This course presents students with the major components of Canadian law, beginning with the foundations of law, followed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, criminal law, civil law, and family law. The course also gives students the opportunity to explore a topic of their choice through inquiry of one of the following: international law, human rights law, youth and the law, labour law, or environmental law.

First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Studies 40S: 

This course supports the empowerment of students through the exploration of the histories, traditions, cultures, worldviews, and contemporary issues of Indigenous peoples in Canada and worldwide. Students gain knowledge and develop the values, as well as the critical thinking, communication, analytical, and inquiry skills, that will enable them to better understand past and present realities of Indigenous peoples. Additionally, exploration of topics such as self-determination, self-government, and language and cultural reclamation allows students to understand and work towards the post-colonial future envisioned by Indigenous peoples.
