Parents and Students
All Open School BC resources are designed to address learning outcomes as specified by the BC Ministry of Education. These are the same outcomes BC teachers teach to in a classroom or through distance education, so using our resources will compliment what your child is learning in school. Open School BC has many complete courses, as well as supplementary resources to provide students with extra help.
Support Resources
Open School BC course materials may be used to help students achieve:
- more practise in a difficult subject
- advanced study in a subject of aptitude or interest
- completion of a missed subject or course
Below is a list of some of the resources designed to help students outside of their regular classes:
