Glendale Online Learning Experience
We, at Glendale have always believed in being future-ready to deal with any kind of unprecedented challenge. Hence we were ahead of the curve in starting online classes when this unforeseen pandemic hit the globe!
We can proudly say that we were among the first to start o line classes in March immediately post lockdown! We took the online classes a step further by including not just academics but also co-curricular activities, virtual PTMs and even virtual summer camps! And to leave no stone unturned our team worked through the summer vacation to upgrade their skills through webinars and training sessions! We created an online encyclopaedia of virtual terms titled * Glendale Online Learning Encyclopedia* and we have also come up with an ABCs of Virtual Learning to guide our teachers in the New Normal.
We have ensured optimal screen time and a balanced curriculum with a healthy mix of screen time, breaks, activities and assessments to keep our students engaged and the learning outcome optimal!
Come and be part of our virtual learning program where students are “learning everyday and loving every minute!”
