Season 2, Episode 8 - Will my child feel isolated? - The Issues of Socialisation

On this episode, you'll hear from Syd, the founder of UK Virtual School.

Many parents have an initial concern when enrolling their children in an online school - That of socialisation and isolation.  During this talk, Syd will explain why this isn't the case, and shouldn't be a concern.

Here are some points to take away:

➡ UKVS have their own clubs! - In the Winter and Autumn there are a plethora of activities that are provided to ensure that kids are interacting and building their interpersonal skills. 

➡ Being schooled online at UKVS gives your child the opportunity to talk to kids who aren't in their age group, helping to further develop their communication skills 

➡ The week break! - UK Virtual School students get one week off every month.  This offers a flexibility not found within traditional schooling, and allows for new experiences and quality time for family and friends.
