SCHOOL GROWTH PLAN
We are grateful that our school district, and the original centre of our school, is situated in the breathtakingly beautiful traditional territory of the Tla’amin Nation, who have inhabited these lands since time immemorial. Our other centres, staff, students, and their families are situated in the many unceded and final agreement territories throughout British Columbia.
Partners in Education (PIE) is a K-12 Provincial Online School (POLS) operated by qathet School District in the qathet Regional District. We currently have 1,486 students with an approximate combine full-time equivalency (FTE) of 1,171. While many students are enrolled with PIE full-time, some students in Grades 8-12 are enrolled part-time, which is the reason for the difference between the number of students and the FTE.
PIE students are primarily located in the or near our main centres – the qathet Regional District, the Comox Valley, and Bowen Island. We also have several community-based cohorts and home-based learners from other locations in BC as many families and students choose PIE as their online school. We collaborate with parents/caregivers and, when appropriate, students to plan individualized learning programs that meet Ministry of Education and Child Care provincial curriculum and assessment standards in flexible, student-centered learning opportunities, both online and in-person. Developing relationships between the students, parents/caregivers, and the teachers in an integral part of that process.
