Excellent online school
My child had been struggling in the mainstream high school environment since Year 7. In Year 8, he was diagnosed with ADHD and ASD. Despite the school's support, by the middle of Year 9, his mental health was rapidly declining. He was being removed from more lessons than he attended, often placed in isolation with little to no work completed. His attendance was also deteriorating. After much consideration, we made the decision to deregister and home educate. We thoroughly researched various online schools, and Eureka stood out. After a successful trial, we enrolled, and my child is now studying Maths, English Language, English Literature, History, Combined Science and Geography with Eureka. The transformation has been incredible. His mental health has drastically improved, he is happier, and he genuinely enjoys learning. He actively participates in lessons without the fear of getting answers wrong or being singled out for looking too eager which is something he experienced in mainstream school. In just six weeks, he has learned more than he did in the last six months at his previous mainstream school. Eureka’s small class sizes (no more than 10 students) create a supportive learning environment. Teachers regularly check for understanding during live lessons, yet there is no pressure to turn on the camera or speak, as students can use the chat function instead. Homework is marked promptly, emails are answered quickly, and online parents’ evenings provide direct communication with teachers (although they are always accessible if needed). As a parent, I also appreciate the online app, which allows me to monitor my child’s attendance and homework. If for any reason your child misses a lesson they are recorded so they can easily catch up. Our only regret is not making this change sooner. We fully expect our child to continue at Eureka and work towards taking IGCSEs.
