[edit] History
Argyll Centre is the school that LearnNet is a program of. It has several campuses throughout Alberta. It was named after its first campus located in an old school off of Argyll Road in Edmonton. For many years that was the main campus of LearnNet. Starting in the end of the 2004-2005 school year Argyll moved its main campus to Forest Heights School due to the Asbotos insulation. The original plan was leave the correspondence program behind and move everything else. However, by August they obtained permission to close the Argyll Campus down.
[edit] Teaching Method
LearnNet works similar to both traditional public schools and homeschooling. It has teachers who work from the Edmonton campus (sometimes they will work from home). Assignments are downloaded to students home computers using Lotus Notes. Over the year many methods of instruction have been attempted. Currently a student can contact their teacher through phone, email, or Lotus Sametime.
