During the pandemic, our eldest child tried remote learning – and it proved less daunting than we’d anticipated. Their readiness to absorb information remotely, engage with educators who couldn’t 'see' them, self-organise, and maintain focus was admittedly not ideal. However, by choosing an online school well-established in this format – one with clear principles, rules, and a nuanced understanding of remote education – we trusted these challenges would be addressed.
We realised VIS School’s approach is ideal – an excellent balance for families like ours seeking the benefits of British education and immersion in an English-speaking environment. Next academic year, my third child will join VIS – which speaks volumes. And though all three have entirely different personalities, interests, abilities, and starting points, we have no apprehension. Their assessment results speak for themselves: the children are thriving, becoming more resilient, organised, and independent. This format, crucially, allows ample free time in the afternoons for sports, creative pursuits, and hobbies.
I consistently recommend VIS to fellow parents we meet at extracurricular activities – those weary of late-night homework, English tutors, early mornings, and reluctant studying. There is a solution, and it’s truly excellent!
