CBe-learn
History
The school was established in 2001 as a virtual learning campus as part of the Calgary Board of Education. Along with the traditional High School program at Ernest Manning High School, CBe-learn moved to the new Ernest Manning Campus in fall 2011. In spring 2013, CBe-learn relocated all administrative and student support services to Lord Shaughnessy High School.
Online programs
CBe-learn offers full Elementary, Jr High and Sr High courses in an online environment, including core academic and complementary courses.
Online courses are offered through Desire2Learn, a comprehensive tool that permits students to interact with course contents, instructors and each other.
Students and teachers interact online through web-based tools, or face-to-face during teacher office hours.
Homeschooling
CBe-learn also offers a homeschooling option for students in grades 1 through 9. This teacher-supported homeschooling program allows families the option of a fully homeschooled option, or a blended environment where certified teachers as well as parents act as the students' teachers.
Career and Technology Centre
CBe-learn is located in the same campus as the Career and Technology Centre, which opened in fall 2010. The Career and Technology Centre provides students the opportunity to access industry-standard equipment and training, in preparation for careers in a variety of technical fields which can include engineering, architecture and many more.
