Welcome to South Island Distance Education School (SIDES), a renowned public school offering comprehensive educational programs for students of all ages. As one of the selected Provincial Online Learning Schools (POLS), SIDES ensures an enriching learning experience from Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12). At SIDES, we cater to diverse learners, including both school-age children and adults seeking academic achievement or course upgrades.

We also extend our services to students in Grades 9-12 who attend local schools but wish to complement their education with online courses. Registration is now open for the 2023-24 school year for students in Kindergarten to Grade 8, while secondary course registration (Grades 9-12) is open year-round. Our school is proud to be a part of School District #63 (Saanich) and acknowledges the ancestral lands of the W̱SÁNEĆ people, on which we learn and thrive.
