What Courses Can Students Take?
Students at Education Outreach have access to a wide variety of courses
delivered in a variety of ways. All of
the courses are designed to meet the Provincial Education Learning Outcomes as
set out by the Ministry of Education.
Students enrolled in the elementary grades generally take their full
program of studies through EOP, which naturally includes Language Arts, Math,
Social Studies, Science, Planning, Physical Education, Fine Arts (Art, Music,
Drama), and a second language starting by at least Grade 5. It is possible for a student to take a
specialty course at a local school, for example Band 7. We call this type of a program a “blended” program,
as the student is taking courses from more than one school in the district.

Directed Studies courses allow students to create courses that they are
particularly interested in studying.
Students, under the guidance and support of a teacher, will identify
what they want to learn, how they will learn it, and how they will demonstrate
that they have learned it. At EOP we
have a number of industry standard software mini-courses that can be packaged
together to meet the students’ particular interests. These mini-courses are listed in the table
below. To be counted as a course,
students need to package the mini-courses together to create a 100-120 hour
course.
