Our mission

We are a service organization devoted to delivering high quality education to students in a manner that is fair and respectful to everyone. There are three main ways in which we meet this goal:

  • We form temporary partnerships with faculty members and sessional instructors to support them in their teaching roles.
  • We ensure that students receive quality instruction and assistance by providing the necessary software assistance and staff training.
  • We provide teaching resources to the School by taking on the instructor role to teach CS courses when there is a need.
