Who are we?

New Westminster VirtualSchool is an innovative online school that offers a variety of teacher-led online distance courses to students in British Columbia.

We are part of Community Education in School District 40 (New Westminster). We are one of the most experienced online centres in British Columbia, having delivered courses over the Internet to students since 1999. Our teachers have extensive experience designing and leading online courses and we have created many of our own courses, 'from the ground up'.

What can you expect from us?

New Westminster VirtualSchool will provide you with a teacher led course that is both easy to register for and easy to use.  As part of School District 40, all of our teachers are members of the British Columbia College of Teachers and our courses cover BC Ministry of Education Prescribed Learning Outcomes.

Our goals are to:

  • Provide you with teacher support and tutoring help when you need it. There are several ways that you can get help if you need it. Click here to find out more.
  • Make it easy for you to write tests, submit assignments, and complete courses.


When can you register for courses?

We are open year-round but have a few closures during the year.  More more information about when the learning centre is open and about closures through the year, see our online calendar.
