Classes, Lessons and Tutorials
Are classes really live?
Yes! The classes are conducted live by real human teachers.
Are classes recorded?
Yes! The classes are recorded and students can access the recordings for the subjects they are enrolled in. This is a huge advantage over traditional summer schools. For example, when a student has missed a class due to illness, he or she can catch up by watching the recordings. Also, when doing a project work, sometimes a student may come to realise there was a topic he or she didn’t fully understand. In all these cases, studying at Lady Evelyn Plus Summer School gives a crucial edge over traditional summer schools.
How do students attend summer school?
Students “attend” our summer school just like any other traditional summer school but with one major difference: all classes are conducted online. The students do not need to travel to a specific location. They will simply log into the Lady Evelyn Plus Summer School Website Portal at the time of their classes and begin their learning. The teachers teach live, using a virtual classroom which includes a whiteboard, a live video and audio feed of the teacher and a chat box. During the class, students can easily communicate with the teacher and each other through the chat box and their microphone, when required. Students submit their project work (and see their marked work) via the Lady Evelyn Plus Student Portal.
What are the school timings?
The main school timings are from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm UK time. (Actual times will depend on the timetable and which subjects the student has actually chosen.)
What happens if a student cannot attend a live class?
If a student is unable to attend a live class, his or her parent or guardian must inform the school via the Lady Evelyn Plus Parent Portal.

Aren’t the hours a bit too long considering the kids are supposed to be on a summer break?
It really depends on perspective. First, the kids will be having a LOT of fun so it’s not just all study; it’s learning through fun and practical creation. Second, we want our kids to really excel — not just be mediocre, like everyone else. If you want to be the best, you simply can’t do what everyone else does. You have to sacrifice. You have to go the extra mile. But don’t forget, the kids are going to LOVE this In sha’ Allah!
