The goals of science courses in Ontario, as outlined in the curriculum document, are:
  1. to relate science to technology, society and the environment
  2. to develop the skills, strategies, and habits of mind required for scientific investigation
  3. to understand the basic concepts of science
General Course Information/Structure
All of our online science courses address the goals outlined above by making connections to everyday life, incorporating labs and focusing on key concepts.  Online courses do include labs and these are either virtual or something that students can conduct at home. Safety is a primary concern in all science courses, even in an online format. Our science courses will begin with a safety section, be sure to go through this content.

Our science teachers are located at either campus. They are available to you for help by email, phone or in person Mon-Fri from 9-11:45am and 12:30-3:00pm.  You can come in every day to work, only when you need our help, or just when you need to write an exam. Most science courses have a midterm and all have a final exam, both of which need to be written in person.

Our teachers look forward to working with you through out your course and will accommodate you as a learner however they can. Questions - just ask.
