Community Classes are learning opportunities open to both TLA students and school-aged children from other schools. These classes are less than a full course; whereas a course meets the standards set out by the provincial curriculum such as what TLA currently offers via our Blended and Online systems (ie Online Humanities 8), Community Classes could be as short as a one-day, one-hour long instructional offering on dissecting a sheep’s eye, or it could be a weekly writing workshop that lasts for three months.

If you have questions about any of the programs being offered please direct them to Annette Flitton (aflitton@schoolathome.ca). Please note that in order for these classes to run there is a minimum number of students required. Each class has a different limit on spaces available so be sure to register early to secure your child’s spot!

Science Fair

Have you done a really interesting Science Experiment this year?  Or do you want to do a Science Experiment??  And then showcase it to others?  TLA is resuming our Science Fair (that was suspended at the beginning of COVID).  You can have the option of presenting, or just chatting casually about your project and other projects.  It is a great venue to see what other people have learned about!

Your project can be set up as a traditional Science Fair board, or it can be on your laptop as a powerpoint/slides – just note that if it is on your computer, other people may need to click on your computer to go to the next slide.

Some snacks will be provided!

MONDAY, June 9, 2025 from 10:00am to noon.

(Note that this date is close to the Grad ceremony date, so if you are coming to the Grad ceremony from another location in the province, you may be able to participate!)
