About

ALDL (Arrow Lakes Distributed Learning School)

Arrow Lakes Distributed Learning School offers flexible options for students from K-12 and for graduated and non-graduated adults to learn. There are three main programs offered within the school:

a K-9 home-based learning program

An exciting program for home-based learning integrates academic and resource support from the teacher, home-based learning experiences that correspond to the BC curriculum, and group arts projects and recreation activities such as the ski program and curricular field trips coordinated by Paula Rogers, our talented DL School teacher. The Arrow Lakes DL School partners closely with Lucerne School in New Denver to support students. Fine Arts performances, inclusion in Writers Festival, Science Fairs, Immersion Weeks and other opportunities are offered to DL home-based learners.

Our students are all residents of BC and most live in our school district region, but include local families travelling to Spain, Australia, Germany, and across Canada for part of the year.

Programs for Graduated Adults and Non-Graduated Adults

Support is available for adult students from teachers either online or in a blended learning face to face environment in either Nakusp or New Denver. Courses are free for non-graduated adults and many are free for adults who have already graduated. Check out the options.
