At FiveOwls, we understand that every learner thrives in a unique environment. That’s why we offer a variety of class formats to cater to different learning styles and schedules. Here’s a breakdown of the exciting options available:
Live and Interactive:
- Live Online Classes:Â The Cornerstone of FiveOwls! These classes feature scheduled video chat sessions where students engage directly with their teacher and classmates in real time. Perfect for fostering a dynamic learning experience and building social connections. Live classes can be one-time sessions or run for multiple weeks, semesters, or even ongoing subscriptions.
Flexible and Asynchronous:
- Flexible Schedule Classes: Ideal for busy schedules! These classes offer a set start and end date but allow for more independent learning. Interaction primarily happens through messages within the FiveOwls classroom, online games and activities, and discussions. Optional video chats can be arranged with the teacher for personalized support.
In-Depth Exploration:
- Short Courses:Â Perfect for developing a new skill or deep-diving into a specific topic. These classes meet for one or more sessions per week over 2-7 weeks. A great option for learners who want a focused learning experience without the commitment of a longer course.
- Camps: Immerse your child in a week-long exploration! Camps meet multiple times throughout the week, allowing for deep dives into favorite subjects. This format is ideal for learners who crave a concentrated learning experience.
- Semester Courses:Â For a comprehensive learning journey, semester courses meet for one or more sessions per week over a longer period (8+ weeks). These classes provide ample opportunities for engaging projects, real-time activities, and interaction with a diverse group of classmates.
Ongoing Learning:
- Ongoing Classes: Keep the learning going! These subscription-based classes meet weekly and offer continuous exploration of a particular subject with the same teacher. Ideal for learning topics like art, music, or book discussions that benefit from ongoing practice and study.
Connecting with Peers:
- Groups: Foster a love of learning beyond the classroom! FiveOwls Groups provide online communities where learners can connect and share their interests anytime, anywhere. This asynchronous format allows for participation at your own pace, perfect for busy families.
Seamless Learning Experience:
Each FiveOwls course comes with its dedicated online classroom. This central hub allows teachers to share announcements, spark discussions, and provide learning materials. For live video chat sessions, we utilize the user-friendly Zoom platform, ensuring a smooth and familiar online learning experience. Most classes leverage built-in tools within the FiveOwls platform, while for classes using external tools (like Canvas or Khan Academy), teachers will provide clear instructions on how to access them.
With so many engaging formats to choose from, FiveOwls makes learning an adventure for every child! Explore our course catalog today and discover the perfect fit for your child’s unique learning style.
