NOTE: If you are enrolling or re-enrolling with RCOA, your Community Class registration form is built into your application. There is no need to fill in a separate registration form for Community Classes, but you do need to pay your face-to-face registration fee to secure your child's spot in the program. Once your documentation is verified by our admissions advisors, payment instructions will be emailed to you via our online billing and payment platform called TUIO. If you are not with RCOA - you may request a registration form from the Assistant Director of Community Classes, Kevin Laser (klaser@rcoa.ca).

Classes for Kindergarten to Grade 7 Learners

RCOA Community Classes are a unique and important part of the RCOA experience. They create an environment for group learning, promote community between families and with the school, and provide opportunities for specialized instruction. Classes occur throughout the year and are provided without cost to RCOA enrolled learners. Other learners can participate for a fee if there is space available.

Learners meet one day a week for 21 sessions within their community. These classes have proven very popular, and almost all of our learners participate. We have community classes running throughout the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island, each location serving between 30 and 160 students of varying grade levels.

Outdoor Explorations

Outdoor Explorations is a place-based, outdoor, observation and play, Creation-stewardship Community Class alternative. We are excited to build and grow this program next year by offering it in two locations on the island and seeking to offer a second location on the mainland. We launched a successful program in Langley this year. Have a peek into what that location was up to in the fall by reading this blog article.

If you are interested in Outdoor Explorations as an alternative to Community Classes, you will have an opportunity to express your interest in your re-enrollment form. There is a $100 supplies and serves fee for this option. Stay tuned for details on locations and days/times.
