My son/daughter has health struggles and requires tailored attention. Is this something he/she will receive with online learning or will they be left behind?

One of the many benefits of learning with LEARN School and Academy is the way it allows teachers to deliver tailored education to all learners. Traditional classrooms can be unpredictable in their nature, which is not the case with LEARN School and Academy’s online classrooms. In a mainstream school setting, students who miss lessons due to hospital or doctor’s appointments may find it difficult to catch-up, causing them to fall behind. Every lesson is recorded and stored in the lesson archive, enabling them to catch-up at any point. Plus, students can email their teacher at any time with queries, getting their questions answered without the fear of feeling embarrassed in front of their peers.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide the details of our students and parents without their consent.
