The HTS Online Experience

A community of learners bound by passion, experience and a commitment to learning.

HTS Online revolutionizes online learning by centring our learning experience on community, connection and personalized mentorship

Our vision for a personalized learning environment is a commitment to know and support each of our learners to develop the skills, knowledge, and competencies that will allow them to thrive in the world.

We provide a learning experience that builds critical skills, knowledge and inspires our students to pursue their passions in order for them to thrive in their post-secondary choices and beyond.
