yes, EQ is gearing up for another school year.
things have changed a little though, and we think that you'll like it as much or more than ever before. so if you're currently in grade 10 and now, even in grade 11, beginning in 2011 you can apply to EQ under its exciting new 21st century format from any location; Vernon, Kelowna, BC, Canada, the world...
EQ has teamed-up with School District 22's VLearn, meaning that you'll be able to enjoy all of the EQ expeditions while taking an entire semester of school through online learning. Everything is on your schedule, but just be ready to hit the slopes, mountains, waves and islands, because with EQ and Vlearn, you'll be getting credit for the things you've always wanted to do.
online at home, at the coffee shop or even on vacation; VLearn lets you choose the classroom you want to be in and the hours you wish to be there. this, combined with EQ, gives you an entire semester of travel, adventure and independence.
the EQ expeditions will supplement your online courses, meaning you get credit for participating in the things you've dreamed and heard about doing. learning about glaciers? why not take a helicopter and ski down one? reading about wave patterns? how about surfing one? studying biological tide zones? come catch some crab with us. looking at photos of geological formations and flora and fauna? how about climbing one and seeing them first hand? reading novels like Lord of the Flies? Come visit an island in the Pacific and put yourself in a character's shoes.
VLearn and nine to ten weeks of EQ expeditions; sounds like the senior semester you've been thinking about.
interested? we thought so.
