Online schooling is also known as e-learning or virtual learning, and is education that takes place over the internet. Online schools provide an alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Online schooling is distinct from home schooling, in that home schooling typically involves parents or guardians taking full responsibility for their child’s education; where accredited online schools will provide a structured curriculum for the learner to follow.
With home schooling, it is up to the parents to plan the curriculum, choose the learning materials and educate their children. At Hatfield Online School, while we do require parental support and involvement in guiding their children through our platforms and structures, we provide the IEB curriculum, which is taught by fully qualified and SACE-registered teachers. Our learners log onto their “classroom” (hosted on Moodle) daily, and they engage with the content independently. They complete weekly activities and write weekly cycle tests under parental supervision.
At Hatfield Online School, we follow the asynchronous teaching model. This means your child can conduct their education any place, at any pace and any time. You structure your child’s own timetable according to your unique circumstances – for example you can fit in a rigorous sports training schedule, and adjust school times around that. The course material is organised into daily lessons, and the lessons are a combination of pre-recorded videos, text, audio clips, diagrams and other interactive materials.
Teachers hold regular Online Group Meets to allow students to interact with each other, and there is a high level of personal communication between the students and our teachers, who are subject specialists. Weekly assessments are in the form of self-marking quizzes and teacher-marked worksheets. Bi-weekly cycle tests and biannual exams ensure a mastery of content.
Our model raises independent and responsible students, who take ownership of their learning. Take a tour of our classroom to find out more.
