Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
What if my child misses a session?
All live sessions are recorded and available for up to 2 weeks after the term ends, so your child can revise and reinforce what they've learned even if they miss a week.
Is this programme suitable for all Year 8 students?
Yes. High School Advanced is built to challenge and extend high-achieving Year 8 students across English, Mathematics, and Science, helping them build confidence and study skills regardless of which school they attend.
How are the live online sessions run?
Classes are delivered live online in small groups via the Scholarly Learning Platform, with worked examples and interactive activities throughout. Questions are sent through the in-class chat box rather than spoken aloud, so the tutor cannot hear your child directly, all questions and answers happen through text chat. A Success Coach is also available outside class hours via WhatsApp, WeChat, and the Scholarly Learning Platform.
What support is available outside class hours?
You can reach your Success Coach 7 days a week via WhatsApp, WeChat, Scholarly Ask (live chat), or a phone call, for any questions about homework, progress, or planning.
What happens after I enrol?
Your child's programme will appear on the Scholarly Learning Platform around a week before term starts (within 12 hours if you enrol after term has begun). Login details are sent by email, so check your spam folder. We also recommend messaging us on WhatsApp or WeChat straight after purchase so we can stay connected with you throughout the term.
Enrol your child in our High School Advanced programme and witness their transformation into a confident, critical thinker and problem-solver ready to tackle the most demanding academic challenges. Our results-driven approach and commitment to excellence will ensure your child thrives in their high school years and develops the skills necessary for a successful future.
