In this class, learners can expect to engage in interactive discussions about climate action and its various challenges, exploring how geographical features impact different countries. Activities may include games like GeoGuessr to enhance geographical knowledge, as well as projects focused on specific countries, allowing learners to delve into topics such as climate relationships, natural resources, and geopolitical history.

Overall, the class fosters a curious and inquisitive environment, encouraging deep exploration of global issues.

Digital Literacy

Digital Literacy sessions provide an interactive and practical learning experience, equipping learners with essential digital skills for the modern world. Through discussion, hands-on activities, and real-world applications, they will explore topics such as responsible online behavior, safe use of social media, cyberbullying prevention, digital ethics, and the impact of AI.

They will also develop skills in using digital platforms for education and the workplace, enhancing their ability to navigate an increasingly digital society with confidence and awareness.

Global Perspectives

In these sessions learners can expect an engaging, interactive approach that fosters critical thinking and real-world connections. Through debate, discussion, and inquiry-based learning, they will explore topics such as human rights, technological advancements, immigration, poverty, gender inequality, cultural festivals, and even how food varies around the world.

Lessons encourage research, collaboration, and personal connections, making global issues relevant and meaningful.

Each learner has their own virtual whiteboard for notetaking. They can access classes and content outside of the timetabled hours and can use the chat, camera, video and communication tools as little or as much as they like.

"Classroom in a Single Tab"

Imagine an online classroom that's as simple as opening a single tab. This is more than just video and chat. We've created a wholly interactive eco-system designed to keep all learners engaged and interested.

Why Gaia Learning are the right fit...

30 minute lessons & Regular breaks

• This allows for better engagement and attention, which is crucial for neurodivergent learners.
• Breaks are essential for physical and mental well-being, and can help prevent burnout and disengagement.

Fridays off for Projects & Afternoon for sports

• This gives your child the opportunity to pursue their own interests and passions, promoting self-directed learning and motivation.
• Afternoons off for sport, projects, and independent learning: This provides a balanced approach to learning and encourages physical activity, which is important for the well-being of all students.

No homework but interest based projects for badges & a global community

• This promotes self-directed learning and allows your child to pursue their interests in a way that is meaningful to them.
• Regular open sessions to see other children: Socialization is important for all students, and online schools can provide a unique opportunity to connect with peers from around the world.

A focus on Life Skills & Goal Setting

• Life Skills, Communication skills, Assembly: These skills are essential for your child's personal and professional growth, and an online school can provide a unique environment for developing them.
• Guided goal setting at the start of the week and week ends with reflection: This helps your child stay on track and be more mindful of their progress, promoting a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence.

Flipped Classroom & Educator contact

• Flipped classroom resources can be differentiated by language, font style and size (useful for dyslexic learners) adapted to interests (ADHD interest-based nervous system), helpful for EAL families: This helps ensure that all students have access to the same information and can learn in a way that works best for them.
• Teachers can be contacted through the flipped classroom, and parents can also support each other in the discussion forum. This promotes communication and collaboration between teachers, students, and parents, which is crucial for the success of any online school.
