Set in an exploratory approach, this article aims to describe the learning experience in the context of a distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic from the point of view of Quebec high school students in addition to identify strategies they consider useful to support their academic commitment. Descriptive analysis of the responses to an electronic questionnaire administered to 72 students benefiting from the Carrefour Jeunesse-Emploi (CJE) program for school and personal support services revealed that their learning experience was marked by a certain discomfort considering that some students expressed having experienced sadness, stress, or anxiety. According to some students, getting involved in schoolwork and obtaining from the CJE remote homework help are useful strategies to support their school engagement. These results lead, among other things, to reflect on questions of the academic well-being of students.
