Rocky Mountain Distributed Learning School provides programs and support for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 which can include adult students. Distributed Learning (DL) takes place when:

  • a student is primarily at a distance from the teacher,
  • whether he/she is at home; or
  • connected to teachers from another learning facility.

DL gives both rural and urban students in British Columbia improved access, more choice, and flexibility to learn outside classroom schedules.  The vision for DL is to provide a quality, dynamic and engaging learning environment that all students in the province can access.  DL, where a B.C. certified teacher instructs the child’s educational program, is different from Homeschooling, where the parent or guardian is responsible for the child’s educational program.

The Rocky Mountain Distributed Learning School (RMDLS) welcomes students from every region of British Columbia, Canada. All enrolment options lead towards a British Columbia Dogwood Diploma.

RMDLS offers full-time elementary (Learning @ Home) and secondary programs for students who are fully educated at home.

The selection of services offered in each Primary Health Care Centre reflects the unique needs of its community.

Home and community care facilities provide a range of health care and support services for eligible residents who have acute, chronic, palliative or rehabilitative health care needs.
