History Of Argyll Centre
Argyll Centre grew out of an experiment of the mid-1990s that asked the question, “What would happen if learning opportunities were made available to students, through technology, 24 hours a day, seven days a week?” A number of Edmonton Public Schools became engaged in trying to answer this question. By 1998, Argyll Centre had been created to amalgamate the learning that had taken place about online 24/7 learning as well as to become Edmonton Public Schools' center for home education services. Argyll's online learning options began serving students across the province of Alberta, with teachers acting as learning facilitators available to students as and when the students required help.
Since those early days, Argyll has become a leader in teacher directed home-based and parent directed homeschooling learning opportunities. We continue to serve a wide range of students across Alberta.
Learning Partnerships are characteristic of Argyll's relationships with parents and students where parents and teachers share the responsibility for student education.
