Distributed Learning

""

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) provides students with a variety of online learning options– in both English and French.

All Nova Scotia Distributed Learning courses use the Nova Scotia Public School Program (PSP) with curriculum and learning outcomes that are identical to those used for in-person classes.

Nova Scotia Virtual School

""Nova Scotia Virtual School (NSVS) provides online high school courses to students enrolled in and attending public high schools in Nova Scotia.

Students register for NSVS courses through their school as a part of their course timetable, typically through a school counselor.

Students work on the course material independently during their scheduled class time and meet online with their teacher and classmates 1-3 times per week. 

Registration and course timelines follow a standard semester schedule. Schools and Regional Centres for Education (RCEs) provide access to the devices and software students need to take NSVS courses.

You can find more information about the Nova Scotia Virtual School at https://nsvs.ednet.ns.ca or through your school counsellor.
