Tasmanian eSchool
The Tasmanian eSchool is the Tasmanian Department of Education online learning provider, offering educational programmes and online courses for students from Kindergarten to Year 10 (K-10) based on the Tasmanian/Australian Curriculum.
The Tasmanian eSchool can be the base school and students can enrol in the Tasmanian eSchool either full time or on a dual basis with another school. All students are taught using blended learning, which mixes a range of learning opportunities, e.g. online, face-to-face, in the community and at home to achieve curriculum diversity and to promote student enthusiasm.
For the last decade, the Online Campus and CELO Online have provided highly innovative tailored online enrichment and curriculum extension to many thousands of students in schools across Tasmania.
