What does a Secondary Virtual School day look like?
Our learning approach caters for all students by being flexible and personalised. Lessons are varied and aim to generate excitement about learning.
Through our blend of connected time and guided time, along with the BIS Abu Dhabi Diploma, we offer a balanced approach that enables teachers to focus on developing each individual student to ensure they reach their potential:

The main platform used is Microsoft Teams. Live sessions with subject specialists enable for the relationship between the teacher and the student to be nurtured, as well as maintaining contact with friends in their classes. There is also self-directed time for students to review material. The provision is further enhanced with regular awards, challenges and collaborative projects.
As parents, you are involved in your child’s wellbeing and progress through reports, parent consultation meetings, and parent questionnaires.
Here is an example Year 9 weekly timetable:
