The VLC is not a school but a Specialist Learning Centre. The VLC delivers a team-based process. A teaching captain is assigned to oversee the program delivery and to be the main contact with the parents who then become an integrated part of the team. Schools can then be involved as appropriate.
In the case of home schooling, the curriculum, homework tasks, testing, and the program to earn credentials and provide oversight to the curriculum is up to the distance education school. This becomes the learner’s school and the VLC will work collaboratively with the school’s contact person and will actively address all IEPs or special needs developed by that school.
Whether the student attends on site at VLC and remains as part of a class or works with a distance education school, the VLC becomes the specialist provider of one to one teaching based on the special needs of the learner in collaboration with the learner’s parents and the contact person assigned by the school.
Learner Cohorts
At the Vancouver Learning Centre, we are equipped to serve students with many kinds of learning needs. Each of the eleven cohorts below describes a type of learner served by the VLC. The groupings are based on years of experience working with students and have been created for the convenience of presenting parents with appropriate information.
We take great care to ensure that each program addresses the needs of the student it is designed for. Since no two learners are exactly the same, all of our programs are individually designed and are built around each learner to provide them with the best support possible.
