Teaching our Children to Champion Diversity: It All Begins at Home

My immediate thought was how awesome that would be, before I smiled and tried to explain to him, to the best of my ability, why I looked different from him.

A Parent's Guide: Reading with Children at Home

For adults, the process of following written text with our eyes comes easily, but is this activity really as simple as it seems? While it looks as though we track across the letters in the lines they are written, encountering each letter, syllable, word, clause and sentence one-by-one, our eyes are actually darting across the page in an attempt to construct an understanding of the text as a whole. So, it makes sense that learning to read from scratch is a big challenge for students and for parents too, who want to guide them as best they can.

What is a 'blended learning' approach?

We believe that many elements blend together to make up a successful virtual school experience. The balance of the learning day will differ to the pattern of the physical school but, depending on the age and stage of your child, a blended approach ensures that maximum learning is achieved through the delivery of a holistic education.
