Virtual Learning @ NPSC

Welcome to the NPSC Virtual Learning / Learn at Home site!

On our virtual learning site, you will be able to access some general information about virtual learning as well as learning activities and sites in the core areas of Literacy, Numeracy and French as a Second Language.

In addition, there are many learning activities included under the 'More' tab in many curriculum areas including Experiential Learning, Indigenous Education, Special Education and Well-Being.

All activities are based on your child's grade level and we encourage your child to explore these areas to help prepare for virtual learning. We will continue to add new resources to this site regularly.
