Electric Education is a Distributed Learning program which provides curriculum and support to parents and students who are looking for alternative ways to complete the BC Dogwood. We are located in the O’Brien Technology Center which gives us access to a gym and the District Resource Center. The school provides hard copy and online curriculum for Kindergarten through Grade 12, as well as Adult Learners. The current enrollment is 92 school age students and 12 adult students. Electric Ed. provides Home Learners with an option within the public school system. Most students attend once a week for course assistance and the opportunity to socialize with students their age. Currently, Electric Ed is moving towards providing more courses and student support online. Virtual classrooms, online tutoring, online resources, and onsite course assistance engage students in self-directed learning.
One of the strengths of Electric Ed is a commitment to creating programs that fit our students. We have students who travel, compete at a high level in sports, live in remote areas, work, dedicate their lives to music, art or religion, or live alternative lifestyles. Distributed Learning at Electric Ed allows them freedom to study outside of the traditional 9-3 school system, accelerate learning to complete courses faster, have a high level of parent involvement in the learning, take a smaller course load, or receive credit towards courses for activities they are involved in outside of their school lives.
