At Essential Education, the focus is on acquiring skills for success in life. These essential skills are fundamental reading and writing, basic math, and the clear thinking skills that are core to analysis and decision-making. Supplemental supporting skills include goal-making and learning skills that help students improve their ability to learn, self-motivate, and guide their own paths to success.

What makes a student learn faster? One aspect is engagement. Once students are engaged, they’re absorbing material, not letting it slide over them. The Essential Education program is designed for engagement with virtual students that you can relate to, and with real-life, practical application of material. A second aspect is targeted learning and pacing. Students learn at their own pace with lessons tailored for them, and that equates to faster learning.

Essential Education maximises student engagement through the use of lively virtual classrooms where students encounter other virtual students who confront the same learning challenges. Further, the virtual classroom students bring a richness of multiple learning styles and interactivity that is simply not possible with text-based instruction. Interactive learning is far more fun and entertaining than memorizing rote formulas and information.
