Agate Private School
Our Programs
Start with what interests you. Agate helps you find tools, resources and people to support the learning you choose.
You are free to follow any learning path — through Agate, another provider, your own projects or everyday experiences. You can record learning from any source in your portfolio, where your parents and Agate staff can follow your progress.

Available through Agate
These resources are available to enrolled Agate learners. We help with school accounts, classroom connections and access to the tools below. Choose what fits your interests; you do not have to use every resource.
Microsoft Education accounts & Office
Your school-issued @ms.learnfree.ca email address gives you access to your Microsoft Education account and Office for Education products. Use it for school email, documents, presentations and other learning projects.
If you need your school account or help signing in, contact Agate.
Khan Academy
Explore subjects at your own pace, practise new skills and revisit ideas whenever you need to. Joining Agate’s Khan Academy classroom lets staff follow your progress and offer support.
Use classroom code WQBE8T, or open the classroom link below. Choose Microsoft sign-in and use your @ms.learnfree.ca account. Have a parent’s email address ready if Khan asks for it during registration.
Minecraft Education
Build, collaborate and explore through Minecraft Education. Annual licences are available through Agate for a small additional fee.
Use your @ms.learnfree.ca account to sign in. After purchase, Agate assigns your licence manually and contacts you with the next steps.
Autodesk design & creative tools
Agate can help you access Autodesk education tools for design, modelling and animation, including:
- AutoCAD — technical drawing and design.
- Maya — 3D modelling and animation.
- 3ds Max — modelling, animation and visualisation.

Autodesk’s Education plan has eligibility requirements. Ask Agate about getting started. Tinkercad is also free to use directly.

Before logging in, contact Agate to request your learner account. Once the school confirms your account is ready, sign in to your member Programs page for Agate’s class code and login instructions.

These resources are provided independently by other organisations. You enrol or access them directly. Agate can help you find alternatives that suit your interests, and you can document what you learn in your portfolio.

We are applying to join Coursera’s affiliate program. While the application is pending, you can explore Coursera directly using the link above. We will update this page if Agate affiliate links become available.
Make it your own
Your learning does not have to come from a course list. Build something, follow a question, try a new skill or explore a resource you found yourself. Add your work and reflections to your portfolio so your family and Agate can see what you are doing.
Open My Learning to choose listed programs, or record an independent project using Other learning / no program. If you would like help finding a starting point, talk with us.
