Virtual Learning - Secondary

TDSB will continue to offer virtual learning for secondary students in the 2023-2024 school year.

Regular programs and ISPs will be available at Virtual Secondary School and are dependent on available space. French Immersion, Extended French, LEAP, Alternative School, and Student Interest Programs continue to be available in person only. 

If you have any further questions, please contact the Principal at your child’s school or if you have questions about Virtual Secondary School, please contact the TDSB Virtual Secondary School.


Virtual Learning is for students who wish to learn in a virtual environment and further develop digital literacy skills. Students will participate in fully virtual classes (no simultaneous/hybrid learning) and will be part of a community of students and staff from throughout the TDSB.

Learning students engage with peers and their teacher(s) synchronously (face-to-face in real time) in a virtual environment using Brightspace, Zoom and/or Google Meet. Online classroom environments are engaging and one where students feel a sense of belonging and where their social and emotional well-being is supported. Students participate in synchronous and asynchronous learning (small groups, full class, student-teacher conferences and independent work).

To develop the classroom community, enhance student engagement, and build connection with one another, students are expected to have their cameras on during class time. Students or parents/guardians/caregivers can speak with the Principal if there are concerns.
