At Hatfield Online School we place most of the responsibility on the shoulders of our students, to ensure that they manage their time and their schooling well. And that’s a good thing! Our vision is to produce young adults who are confident and responsible, and who will go out and impact the world for the better!
One of the key aspects for thriving in an online setting is time management. You may think that being in Hatfield Online School means you can work flexibly anywhere and at any time. That is true! However, this doesn’t mean you will work any less than in a “normal” school… In fact, you are expected to put in the same number of hours that you would if you were enrolled in a brick-and-mortar school – roughly 7 to 8 hours of “class time”, followed by extra homework time each day.
It can be difficult to make sure you work enough, but also to not overwork yourself, if you don’t follow a timetable. Therefore, we recommend that you use a timetable (in fact – we provide some templates) to ensure that you spend enough time each week going through your lessons and activities.
As well as using a timetable to structure your day, we recommend that you keep a diary / online calendar for managing deadlines for your activities. Each subject you take will have at least one activity per lesson which needs to be submitted each Friday. This can result in a LOT of activities to keep track of. Therefore, it is important for you to list these deadlines at the start of every week, so that you can keep track of your progress.
Does your child need the kind of education that surpasses, and escapes the confines of the traditional classroom? Hatfield Online School not only bridges the gap between the present and the future, but also the gap between a world-class education and affordability.
Please contact us to find out more about world-class online IEB education for your child, from as little as R2 295 per month for full time tuition, or from R590 per month per single subject: [email protected].
With excellent SACE-registered subject specialists as teachers, our students have the world at their fingertips. Our staff are just one email or video call away, and a student can get one-on-one tuition from their teachers should they not grasp a concept.
We follow an asynchronous teaching model, which means your child can conduct their education any place, at any pace and any time. You structure your own timetable according to your unique circumstances - for example you can fit in a rigorous sports training schedule, and adjust school times around that.
Hatfield Online School is the perfect solution for students wishing to take an extra subject that their school does not provide teaching support in. We also assist grade 12s wishing to improve their IEB marks through matric re-writes or full portfolio upgrades.
Our model raises independent and responsible students, who take ownership of their learning, and who thrive in the world after school.
As an online educator, I also believe time management is key 🔑 ♥️
