Supporting international schools with remote learning
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.
As providers of curricula, resources and assessment to international schools around the world, we know how important it is to continue the learning when children can’t be in school. With our remote learning support, we aim to help you minimise disruption and support your ongoing teaching and learning.
