It has already been a week since we started the e-learning, let’s review it and share with you a few pictures.

Thanks to the different feedbacks from the community (teachers, parents, and students) regarding the first days of e-learning, many connection difficulties affecting videoconference classes were pointed out. The school thus decided to move onto the Zhumu system for the entire e-learning from Monday, March 28 on. Some teachers were able to shift to Zhumu on Thursday afternoon. With this tool, e-learning should be guaranteed with more comfort.

The pedagogical team is invested, regardless of the conditions, in the multiple interactions with students and families: videoconferences with the entire class or with smaller groups based on the needs, discussions on Pronote, or even open classes following the time schedule. Our teachers adapt their working methods and lead numerous class projects with their students. A particular attention is given to classes with final exams in which each student can benefit from a dedicated time with his/her teacher and receive feedback on his/her work.

The school operates as normally as possible: our departments are functional, regular meetings happening via videoconference. The same applies to the meetings in which parents participate (Board of Directors’ meetings, teachers’ conferences, parents-teachers’ meetings). The school was also able to organise an online open house yesterday to inform the families preparing the future enrolment of their children.

A warm thank you to volunteer parents for sending us a few pictures of these first days!

We will come back very soon with a next special episode on e-learning. Be careful and take care of yourselves!
