What a school day looks like

What you’ll see on your dashboard, and who is accountable for your child at every step of the day.

How the day is structured

1 | Before class

Short activities before each lesson get your child ready for it, and we let you know if anything’s outstanding.

2 | Live lessons

12 to 20 hours a week, in lessons of 30 to 60 minutes. Attendance is required, and we record everything.

3 | Support layer

The Learning Assistant checks in daily. We answer subject questions within one school day, back them up with short explainer videos, and run free tutor sessions every day for anyone who’s fallen behind.

4 | Independent work

15 to 20 hours of study and 3 to 6 hours of assessment, including coursework and Personal Mastery away from the screen.

Not every online school works this way

The content library

Videos and worksheets, no timetable, no teacher who knows the learner. Progress depends entirely on self-discipline.

The recorded-core school

Pre-recorded lessons with occasional live check-ins. Questions wait. Nobody notices a quiet week until it becomes a quiet month.

The live-led school

Live lessons every school day, required attendance, a Learning Assistant tracking daily and a dashboard parents actually use. That’s the school we built.
