SelfDesign Learning Community has unique ways of meeting the Ministry of Education guidelines for communicating student learning. We approach assessing, documenting and reporting on learning through a series of learning communications.

Genius Hour brings learners together to show and talk about what they’re doing in their learning lives, ask questions, share ideas and deepen their understanding of the notion of “genius.”

SelfDesign’s personalized learning program provides learners with the same credentials that any B.C. school offers. Learners can apply to post-secondary institutions and work towards professional careers – and are better prepared for taking responsibility for their own learning.

Director of Organizational Learning & Culture, River Meyer, shares how parents can practice self care to keep themselves healthy amidst the difficulties of the pandemic.

Our 2020 Community Report shares our achievements and activities, as well as our responses to last year’s unique challenges.

Being able to connect to and interact with peers is an important part of the school experience. At SelfDesign Learning Community, we build that connection and interaction right into our core learning program.

“SelfDesign is a unique opportunity to pursue your interests in a different way,” SelfDesign graduate Erik says. “It’s also a great opportunity to find like-minded people – which could be hard to do otherwise – but SelfDesign provides the perfect opportunities for these connections to be made.”

SelfDesign employs the innovative Universal Design for Learning framework to provide learners with choice and flexibility in how they access material, engage with it and show what they know.

Although many families spend much of their time learning at home and in their community, when SelfDesign learners do use technology for learning, we take their online safety very seriously.
