WELCOME TO QUEBEC VIRTUAL ACADEMY
A Virtual Education initiative with the participation of the nine English school boards.
In the spring of 2022, the English Montreal School Board submitted a pilot project on behalf of the anglophone community. We are pleased to announce that the pilot project was accepted. Students in the following situation may be eligible for the delivery of remote education to complete all their academic requirements.
- Student with a long-term medical condition who cannot attend school in presence because of the severity of their needs. All requests must be accompanied by a recent (less than three months) recommendation from a professional in the Health and/or Social Services Sector;
- Student who is an elite athlete and training at a recognized elite level whose academic needs cannot be met in their local school, due to lack of accessibility to specific courses (e.g. scientific math, chemistry, physics) or distance and scheduling conflict with the sport organization and school;
- Student who lives in a rural area whose academic needs cannot be met in their local school, due to lack of accessibility to specific courses (e.g. scientific math, chemistry, physics) and where transportation to an alternative school is not an option.
Although physical school attendance is compulsory and beneficial for all students, we understand that for some students that this may pose a challenge and as a result, the following project has emerged and gives an opportunity to better meet the needs of all our students.
The project has been accepted for the 2023-2024 school year.
Only students living in Quebec and eligible for English education can attend the Quebec Virtual Academy
