In today’s fast-paced, ever-changing world, education needs to adapt to meet the diverse needs of learners. At Aubrey Academy, we believe flexibility is key—and that’s why our asynchronous learning model is at the heart of what we offer.

But what exactly is asynchronous learning, and why is it so empowering for high school students?

What Is Asynchronous Learning?

Asynchronous learning means students can access course materials, complete assignments, and learn at their own pace, on their own schedule. There are no set class times or daily Zoom calls—just high-quality, teacher-led content available when and where students need it.

Why It Works: Benefits by Learner Type

1. Student-Athletes & Performers

High-performance athletes and performing artists often struggle to balance school with their training or competition schedules. Asynchronous learning allows them to keep up academically without sacrificing their goals. They can study between practices, on the road, or during recovery.

2. Independent & Motivated Learners

Some students thrive when they have control over their learning. Asynchronous programs let them move ahead when ready, revisit challenging material, and deepen their understanding—without waiting for the rest of the class.

3. Students with Health or Mental Health Needs

Flexible scheduling supports students who may need breaks throughout the day or who manage medical appointments and therapies. It reduces pressure while maintaining academic progress.

4. Working Students & Mature Learners

Many of our students juggle part-time jobs or family responsibilities. Our asynchronous model allows them to earn their OSSD without having to choose between work and school.

5. Global & Remote Students

Whether a student lives in a rural area of Ontario or abroad, Aubrey Academy’s online platform allows them to access accredited courses without location barriers. Time zones and travel no longer stand in the way of a high-quality education.
