Ottawa-Carleton Virtual (OCV) Secondary School - Registration
With planning underway for September 2023, OCV Secondary school is now accepting requests to register for the 2023-2024 school year. Registration will be open from January 31 to February 14, 2023.
It is important that all families registering with OCV for remote classes for the 2023-24 school year understand the requirements and limitations of the program:
- Registering with OCV is for the entire school year (Sept 2023 - June 2024). There will not be an opportunity to switch back to in-person learning during the year.
- Students must be living in Ottawa full-time in order to remain enrolled in OCVSS. Extended travel is not permitted. Students will not be able to access courses from outside of Ottawa and will be withdrawn if attempting to do so.
- Students must be logged in and actively participating in their live virtual class meetings each day from 9am to 3:30 pm.
- Students must be prepared to participate using web cam and microphone to interact with staff and peers when needed.
- Class meetings are the same length/format as in-person learning (300 minutes per day of "live") classes.
- Some courses and graduation requirements may require in-person participation at an OCDSB site (to be determined based on the student's course of study).
By the end of February, OCV will reach out to parents/guardians to confirm with families who have registered for OCV for September 2023.
Families who choose not to register with OCV will be automatically pre-registered for their OCDSB "Home School" for the 2023-24 school year.
