Not that one, but I took 2 courses through durhamvc.org (http://durhamvc.org/) which looks to be about the same thing. I received my transcripts in the mail.

My teachers were on MSN, which was nice for assistance. The lessons were different versus a traditional school, but still educational and challenging. I took grade 11 Law, and grade 11 Science through online courses. I enjoyed it alot, and I did pretty well.

Thanks for the info. My son wants to take an extra course in grade 10 and the only way he can do it is to get the two 1/2 credit provincially mandated courses out of the way.

careers and civic....those were the easiest classes ever yet the most boring ever.

That's what I'm hoping, that he'll be able to breeze through them at home and not waste a semester at school when he could be doing something he enjoys.

I know for a fact that civics/careers is offered through the TDSB virtual school..and they will take students from other boards. they take a $20 admin fee compared to a $50 fee from VLC
