Our motto for approaching our elective subjects is "experts, exposure and experience" because we want our learners to have access to the best teachers (experts), get in touch with a variety of ideas and perspectives (exposure) and make sure they are ALWAYS engaged in active learning, trying things out for themselves and constructing their own skills & knowledge (experience).

Tune in to this episode to learn how Experts, Exposure + Experience works in a remote situation.

Typically Math, Science & English are pegged as 'boring' 'must do' subjects that most students don't have enthusiasm for and we're not available for that. We love the core subjects and in this episode I’m diving into

  • How do we make sure learners are ALL mastering the Core Subjects?

  • How do we accommodate learners' different paces and developmental gaps or gifts?

  • How do we ensure Math, Science & English are not just subjects that learners have to pass?

  • How do we connect these subjects to the real world and make sure learners are able to apply what they learn?
