InformNet is Manitoba's accredited online high school.

  • InformNet is Manitoba's leading accredited online high school, proudly celebrating 25 years of excellence in education. Enrollment is open to all Manitoba high school students, including those from public schools, funded independent schools, home schoolers registered with Manitoba Education, and adult learners.
  • InformNet courses are designed to provide self-directed learning experiences with daily instruction, assignments, and evaluations delivered through our interactive online learning platform, Brightspace. These courses are facilitated by our team of certified teachers, and course credits are recognized and awarded by students' day schools upon meeting the required standards.
  • We prioritize close collaboration with Manitoba high schools, students, and parents to ensure comprehensive and effective educational support. More than 97% of our students choose InformNet's flexible, asynchronous online classes to supplement their traditional in-school schedules, and helping them achieve academic success on their own terms.
  • The name "InformNet" reflects our commitment to integrating Internet technology with educational excellence, a tradition we began with the collaboration of initial school divisions. In September 2016, InformNet evolved from a program into Manitoba's first official virtual high school, formalizing online education in the province.
  • With a dedicated team of 13 full-time teachers, InformNet offers a comprehensive range of courses required for high school graduation in Manitoba. Our virtual platform supports up to 3,800 student seats, providing a high-quality educational experience for all participants.

"InformNet, originally established in 1997, remains the only virtual Grade 9-12 school in Manitoba that is fully accredited and open to all students and adult learners." Winnipeg Free Press - March 2024


Online learning is not for everyone. It is an opportunity given to students who cannot get into a course offered at their school, need a credit required for graduation or would like to try a course not offered at their home school. The day school guidance counselor and school administration have the right to limit access to online courses if there are relevant academic issues associated with the student that would hinder progress in an online environment.

InformNet teachers use “Learning Check-Ins” to assess student learning. These are teacher-initiated video conferences that students must attend within two school days of the request. Each session lasts approximately 15 minutes and is intended to evaluate the student’s understanding of their submitted work. During a Learning Check-In, students are required to have their cameras and microphones on and be prepared to share their screen.

Grade 12 Provincial Exams

Grade 12 students are required to write their provincial exams at their day school. These exams contribute 20% to their overall course grade. At the beginning of the semester, the day school administrators receive a list of students enrolled in the following English and French Immersion grade 12 courses: Math 40S Applied, Math 40S PreCal, Math 40S Essential, English 40S Comprehensive Focus, English 40S Literary Focus, and English 40S Transactional Focus, Mathématiques au quotidien 40SX, Mathématiques pré-calcul 40SX . This helps ensure that students are signed up for the right exams. The day school administrator registers students for the provincial exams. After a student completes a provincial exam, the day school adjusts their final grade based on their performance. Students will receive information about when and where these exams will take place.
The final grades given by InformNet are out of 100 marks. Day school administrators receive both the current percentage a student has in the course and the corresponding score out of 80. Full-time grade 12 InformNet students are registered to take provincial exams through our school.

"Final responsibility for the administration and marking of the test remains with the school and/or school division in which the student is enrolled." - Pg. 13, Grade 12 Provincial Tests: Policies and Procedures.

Students are expected to follow InformNet’s Academic Honesty Policy

“Students must understand that the tests/exams they complete and the assignments they submit as evidence of learning must be their own work and that cheating and plagiarism will not be tolerated."

      Monthly Progress Reports

      Student progress reports provide a snapshot of a student's academic performance, including their login activity, assignment and assessment updates, and general themes related to their work and credit success. These reports also include the student's current course grade. Once generated, progress reports are emailed to the student, parent/guardian, and the student's day school principal.
