Distributed Learning + Workshops = Best of Both Worlds

To support the many types of high school learners ISK is offering some of its DL classes in a workshop format.
This means that students have the option to participated in a once a week class lead by a teacher.

Our first workshop class is:

English 12 with teacher Earl Hamilton!
Earl will offer a series of 10 workshops, beginning on October 3 from 1 to 3:30.

ISK is an Independent Distributed Learning High School in B.C., Canada.
Are you wondering what a Distributed Learning High School is?
It is a high school that offers courses primarily through the mail or internet, and in our case assigns a teacher to each student to mentor and support that student’s learning experience.

For example: you wish to take Biology 10 with ISK.

You fill out the admission form and the course registration form, and send them in. We receive them, contact you and enroll you in the course. Once enrolled you will receive the course via the mail or the internet, and the course teacher/mentor will contact you. This teacher/mentor will be a support for you through your learning experience in the course.

With over 25 high school courses for students to choose from, you can take one course or take your entire high school program with us.

If you are enrolled at another highschool, no problem!
You can take a course with us and receive credit for you graduation program.

You may also choose to take the majority, or all of your high school courses with us.
Which ever you choose, we are here ready to work with you.

As we are a Distributed Learning School, you are able to enroll with us at any point in the school year. You can also sign up for a course with a friend or two and create a learning group! We can arrange conference calls so that you can learn with your friends!

Stay tuned, our new website will be up and running soon!
