Deciding if NBVLC is right for you.
How our program works
NBVLC courses are led by New Brunswick certified teachers, aligned with the NB curriculum, and delivered through Brightspace. You stay registered at your home school while taking NBVLC courses.
What to expect as an NBVLC Student
Online learning at NBVLC is structured and teacher-guided — not independent study. Courses run over 18 weeks with weekly assignments, typically due Fridays. You’ll have flexibility in how and when you work, but you’re expected to follow the pacing, submit original work, and communicate when you need help.
Is Online Learning Right for You?
Online learning can be a great fit if you: need flexibility in your schedule, want access to courses not offered at your school, are pursuing Advanced Placement (AP) courses, prefer a quieter or more independent learning environment, need to recover or accelerate credits, or thrive when managing your own time.
It requires motivation, communication, and consistency.

Staying successful

Assessments & Supervision
Some assessments require supervision at your home school or an approved learning location, with instructions provided through Brightspace or school communication. You may also take part in a live assessment — an interview, conference, or follow-up activity — a normal part of online learning.

Late work & deadlines
Missing work can lower your grade until it’s submitted and graded. Drop-boxes close after roughly 4–5 weeks. To request one be reopened, complete a Drop-box Reopening Request form explaining the delay and your plan to catch up — extensions are typically only granted for extenuating circumstances.
Academic integrity & responsible AI use
All submitted work must reflect your own learning. AI tools may only be used when specifically permitted by your teacher or the assignment instructions, and any permitted use must be disclosed as directed.
Technical Support
You’ll need reliable internet access, a suitable device, access to Brightspace, and (when required) a headset or microphone. For issues, contact [email protected].
Wellbeing
If you’re struggling, reach out early. Keep a regular routine and workspace, check Brightspace at least weekly, and contact your Online Teacher or home school if you need support.
