Independent Directed Studies

Independent directed studies provide opportunities to pursue learning outcomes that extend beyond those normally taught in the classroom and/or to study independently of the classroom schedule. Independent directed studies are initiated by students, conducted under the supervision of a teacher. These studies must be based on one or more learning outcomes in the provincial or locally developed curriculum. One or two credits may be earned for each independent directed studies course reported.
