JTeach Academy’s hybrid learning format takes into account that students have different needs when it comes to learning.
Online Learning
Guided online learning allows students access to all of their classroom resources at their fingertips and provides an opportunity for students from all over Ontario, Canada and the world to join classes. Local students will also attend in-person classes every second week.
In-Person Learning
In-person learning classes allow for students who require direct contact with their teacher in order to understand class concepts and assignment criteria, and allows for teachers and students to develop a synergy that they may not achieve online. In-person classes alternate weekly with online classes.
Experiential Learning
JTeach Academy provides students with the opportunity to work with real-world primary and secondary sources in order to deepen their understanding of the subject matter. Courses that connect to Israel and the Holocaust include Summer trips to Israel where students learn from world experts & experience Israel in a meaningful way that includes a whole lot of fun.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
01.
Do JTeach Academy courses follow the Ontario curriculum?
Yes, all of JTeach Academy’s courses follow the curriculum requirements as set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education.
02.
How long are JTeach Academy courses?
Each class at JTeach Academy, whether virtual or in person, is 2.5 hours and occurs once per week. Classes begin in late September and end in early June. All courses include an independent study unit (ISU) which comprises part of the course content.
03.
If I take a course that includes an Israel trip, is the trip considered part of the course?
Yes. The trip to Israel, which is a part of some of the JTeach Academy courses, is part of the learning for those courses. Students engage in experiential learning through organized sessions with Israeli experts while conducting firsthand research for their course culminating assignments; all while enjoying the amazing life-changing experiences that Israel has to offer.
04.
Are online only courses available for all students?
At JTeach Academy we feel that distance learning offers some advantages for students who cannot attend in person classes but is not a replacement for human connection. That is why we introduced our hybrid learning model. It allows students some flexibility in that they do not need to attend every class in person, but it still provides students with that crucial face to face connection with their teacher. Students who live too far away to attend the in person classes will be allowed to select the online only option.
