They can go at their own pace to do the classes and still be able to listen to other students answer questions and see what their peers are thinking and how they are answering. If there’s a sharing day or a presentation day, then video only students are always welcome to come share. At any time you need to go video only, you have the ultimate flexibility to do that since videos are uploaded daily by the end of the day of each class day. You can review and re-watch anytime as well.

FAQ

  • Are there siblings discount? We are not offering any discounts for siblings at this time. 
  • 是否有兄弟姐妹折扣？目前我們不提供兄弟姐妹折扣.
  • Are siblings allowed to sit together? It depends on your family and how your children work together. Some prefer siblings to sit apart with different screens if possible to minimize disturbances to their study and they feel more ownership. However, there are some siblings that like to sit together and it makes them work harder. 
  • 兄弟姐妹是否可以坐在一起？這取決於您的家庭和孩子們的相處方式。有些家庭希望兄弟姐妹坐在不同的銀幕前，如果可能的話盡量分開以減少干擾，他們會感覺更有責任感。但也有一些兄弟姐妹喜歡坐在一起，這樣他們會更加努力。
