Supporting international schools with remote learning and the ongoing impact of COVID-19
When the global coronavirus pandemic hit, international school leaders, educators, learners and parents had to pivot quickly to remote learning – doing so with fortitude and resilience despite the challenges this posed. Now, some schools remain closed. Others are open although not all learners are able to attend due to self-isolation or other factors.
However your school is operating – whether that is face-to-face, online or a hybrid mix of both, it remains our overwhelming priority to support you to ensure learning can continue.
