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.

Mind Mapping: A Learning Tool for All Learners

This is a learning tool for all learners that enhances attention, memory, understanding, planning and test preparation. It is a study tool that creates a visual display of the content material under consideration. At the Vancouver Learning Centre, we use the method developed by Tony Buzan. All students learn to mind map

  • To enhance memory (especially for visual learners)
  • To make the understanding of difficult concepts easier by creating a colourful visual display
  • To improve the planning of written work such as essays and responses to questions
  • To allow for the systematic understanding of complex procedures in Math and Science
  • As an important study tool for exams
  • As a wonderful tool for creative problem solving, and planning.
