Distance education. How does school help you learn comfortably and safely?

In recent years, more and more people have become convinced: distance schools offer advantages that traditional education cannot provide.

Individual pace. Distance learning with its flexible schedule of classes and variety of programs helps to adapt the educational process to the characteristics of the student.
Comfort. Since the student is getting an education online, parents have the opportunity to create the most convenient and safe environment for classes.
The opportunity to attend classes from anywhere. This is especially true now, when many children were forced to leave their own cities or even go abroad.
An innovative approach to learning. All materials, lessons and tasks — in one place, on a convenient interactive platform.

Although distance learning is universal, it cannot be a single format for everyone. To make it effective, it is important to choose a learning package that meets your child's needs.

What are these training packages?

It is difficult for us (people who often dirty their school uniforms with chalk during their studies) to imagine this, but such an alternative education offers many options. As an example, you can take the largest distance school in Ukraine «Optima» and see what educational packages it offers:

«Student». This is the main program that provides all possible benefits of distance learning:
- access to the interactive platform 24/7;
- exciting video lessons with elements of animation and animation, educational games, tests and 3D models;
- access to the English learning platform;
- interesting notes with a multitude of photo and video examples;
- an individual approach to each child: the teacher checks, comments and evaluates each task of the student;
- online consultations with teachers and the school psychologist;
- group project works, children's socialization programs.
«Student SMART». The only difference between this package and the previous — is more flexibility and freedom in the learning process, because the child only has to perform mandatory tests, tasks and tests.
«External» / «SuperExternal». Here, the student may not perform all tasks and tests, and the quality of learning the material will be comprehensively checked by the annual control work.
«Listener». This program is designed for children who are officially studying at another school, that is, it simply helps to simply improve their knowledge.
«We are from Ukraine». Universal package for children studying in a foreign school. It provides an opportunity to study the most important subjects of the Ukrainian program: Ukrainian language, history and literature. There is even an option to simultaneously obtain Ukrainian education based on the principle of external studies.

How to choose a training package?

As you can see, distance education programs can be different. To choose the most appropriate, it is worth:

find a quality distance school;
discuss with the child her needs;
determine exactly what you expect from your studies;
carefully compare packages according to different criteria (fill, price, compliance with the child's needs);
take a trial lesson or use demo access to training to understand if a particular option is right for you.

Schoolchildren are very different. Someone needs more independent work in distance learning, and for others, group projects and constant support from the teacher will be extremely important. That is why, when choosing a program, first of all, pay attention to the convenience of learning and the comfort of your own child. We wish you success!
