we offer a constellation of choice for your shining star
launching September 1, 2020
Our innovative approach to education helps Alberta students succeed through the elementary grades 1 through 6, junior high school grades 7 through 9, senior high school grades 10 through 12, and beyond. We recognize that the individual circumstances of learners vary greatly and, accordingly, ursa offers maximum flexibility to meet the needs of our students and their families. ursa Shared offers programs with a shared responsibility: part parent-directed and part teacher-directed. Students may take advantage of an online, onsite, and print based program or a combination of delivery methods through ursa Distance. ursa is a virtual school with a brick and mortar campus.
two program choices – a world of possibilities
ursa supports home education families that want support in specific subject areas as well as fully teacher-directed programming
ursa
Shared
Some families will view our shared responsibility program as providing “the best of both worlds” by combining traditional home education with teacher-directed instruction for chosen subject areas. Shared responsibility programming is ultimately flexible, allowing you to home educate your child while gaining access to the services and support of a teacher in delivering some programming. Delivery of the teacher-directed component could be online, onsite, or print based.
Currently accepting applications for the 2020-2021 School Year for Alberta Students in Grades 1 through 12.
ursa
Distance
This distance learning alternative provides fully teacher-directed programming online, onsite and print. No matter where in the world your family may be, your student’s teacher is only a phone call, email, or video chat away throughout the academic year.
