Student Expecations

Students intending to register need to be aware of the following:

  • Course content is delivered online; paper copies are not available.
  • Students need to have the appropriate hardware to connect and learn online. (A strong internet connection and a desktop or laptop computer)
  • Success in online courses relies heavily on the ability to self-start and self-motivate as a learner.

Attendance will be reported once per week. Being marks absent means that the student has not been attending to learning for the entire week. Attendance to learning with PBB means:

  • Completing assigned learning tasks regularly
  • Connecting to learning resources regularly 
  • Connecting to teachers at least weekly via live sessions, individual appointments, or electronic communication (email or chat) of an academic nature

Students who have previously demonstrated a lack of attendance to learning with PBB or with their home school may not have their registration request for classes with PBB accepted.

Palliser Beyond Borders is truly all about choice. For our high school students, our online programs provide more choice than they might have in their schools alone. Beyond offering more diverse courses, there is also simply the choice for our students to work independently and on their own schedule, while still having the benefit of our excellent teachers.
