MISSION
Rooted in the overarching principle of foundational entrepreneurship, our mission is to transform learning to meet the future by integrating real-life learning, enhancing personal development skills, and equipping learners to engage fully as members of the global community.
HOW WE TEACH
Live online Sessions
SYNCHRONOUS: Most classes will be teacher led and taught through live online lessons using clear informed presentation of information. These are recorded and are available to leaners to replay later or for those who may have missed the live class.
ASYNCHRONOUS: To compliment the synchronous learning approach, asynchronous tools that are learner centered such as hands on activities and independent learning will also be used.
School Culture
At Switch Edu Online, community is at the heart of our learning experience. We encourage open communication between parents, teachers, and learners.
We strengthen our school community through:
- Parent Meetings
- Termly Newsletters
- Learner Engagement Activities
(e.g., movie sessions, group challenges, presentations) - Supportive digital platforms for parents and students
Resources:
- Textbooks (download/list by grade)
- Timetables (download/list by grade with visual guides)
