VLN is located at the John Oliver Secondary School in Vancouver, BC. It has its own hallway in which it can operate. In this hallway, there is a VLN office, a book room, a multi-use classroom, and a computer lab. Students are able to complete their work at one of the 15 computers in the lab. A resource teacher is present to assist students in all areas of study. Students may also receive help from their teachers located in the same building.[citation needed]

The school has self-paced online and paper-based courses. All courses are tuition-free to students as long as they are Canadian citizens and residents of British Columbia. A majority of VLN students attend a home secondary school but take one or two classes on VLN.[citation needed]

All courses must be completed within 12 months from the day the student submits the first assignment. A student learning plan (SLP) is created by the students before they begin a class, and they must reflect on those timelines.[citation needed]

Ongoing (12 months per year) teacher support and availability, numerous face-to-face requirements, and in-person activities have helped establish VLN as a legitimate and thriving school community. Elluminate sessions are provided as an alternative for students who are unable to attend.[citation needed]
