Students can study from anywhere in the world while having access to expert teachers teaching the British curriculum. Classes are conducted live by real teachers (not boring CDs) and students can interact with them directly during and after the classes.</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">Classes are also recorded so students can catch up on missed classes, brush up on subject matters they found difficult and use these recordings to revise for exams. There are many advantages of studying at <strong>Lady Evelyn Independent School</strong>. See <a href="/why"><strong>this page</strong></a> for a more extensive list of advantages.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="How do students attend school?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInDown" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">Students “attend” school just like any other traditional school but with one major difference: all classes are conducted online. The students do not need to travel to a regular brick and mortar school. They will simply log into the <strong>Lady Evelyn Independent School</strong> 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 chatbox. During the class, students can easily communicate with the teacher and each other through the chatbox and their microphone, when required. Students submit their homework (and see their marked work) via the student portal. Everything is conducted online.</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">Using voice, text, whiteboard, notes, recordings, presentations and screen sharing, classes are much more engaging and interactive than at traditional schools. Students can be set tasks to work through specific exercises, share their work or demonstrate to the class. This allows every student the chance to directly and privately communicate with the teacher, so no one is ever left feeling missed out or left behind.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Who are the teachers at Lady Evelyn Independent School?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInDown" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">Classes are taught live, online, by expert teachers who have passion for their subjects and are dedicated to helping every student succeed.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What role does Faith play at Lady Evelyn Independent School?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInUp" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">While the Islamic Faith is at the centre of our ethos at <strong>Lady Evelyn Independent School</strong>, we welcome students of all faiths and of none, as well as students from all backgrounds.</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Our aim is to offer a superb education for all.</strong></span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">We encourage tolerance and a genuine understanding of different faiths and beliefs. We expect all students to respect the multi-culturally diverse society in which they live.</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">We offer optional subjects related to the Islamic Faith such as Islamic Studies and Quran. From time to time, students will be required to attend assemblies in which matters such as kindness, being charitable and other faith topics will be discussed.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Are online schools recognised?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInUp" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">Online schooling falls under homeschooling in many countries (including the UK) and is a legal alternative to traditional brick and mortar schools.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Do I get Islamic Holidays like Eid and the last few days of Ramadan off?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInUp" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Yes!</strong> The days of trying to explain to your school why you need a holiday on either this day or the next for Eid are gone!</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">At L<strong>ady Evelyn Independent School</strong>, we follow private and independent school conventions for the number of academic study weeks in each year. Because this gives us some flexibility, we have holidays that give us some spiritual time at the end of Ramadan and for Eid to spend time with family and friends.

This is a huge advantage over traditional schools. For example, when a student has missed a class due to illness, he/she can catch up by watching the recordings. Also, when doing homework, sometimes a student may come to realise there was a topic he/she didn’t fully understand. Or maybe he/she wants to re-watch certain subjects during exam time to consolidate the learning.</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">In all these cases, studying at <strong>Lady Evelyn Independent School</strong> gives a crucial edge over traditional brick and mortar schools.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="Do you have any sample class?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInDown" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Yes!</strong> You can see a sample history lesson by clicking <a href="/sample-class-history"><strong>here</strong></a>.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What are the school timings?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInDown" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">The main school timings are from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm London time. Most students, however, will be finished by 3:30 pm and primary school students will normally be finished by 1:00 pm. (Actual times will depend on the timetable and which subjects the student has actually chosen)</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Note that</strong> students will not be studying throughout the day. Students are only expected to log on and be at their computer during class time. They will have free periods when they can do their homework, revise or simply take a break!</span>

<span style="font-size: 20px;">A 2015 OECD study <em>“How Much Time Do Teachers Spend on Teaching and Non-teaching Activities?”</em> found that on average across countries, teachers in traditional schools spend half of their working time in non-teaching activities.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What happens if a student cannot attend a live class?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInUp" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">If a student is unable to attend a live class, his/her parent/guardian must inform the school via the Parent Portal for it to be marked as an Authorised Absence.

At the secondary school level, classes are of two types: Lessons and Tutorials. In Lessons, lead teachers teach new subject matter to students in larger groups at the same time. Tutorials are conducted in smaller groups where there are class discussions, exercises, etc. to consolidate understanding of the new subject matter.</span>[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title="What about the Physical Education and Exercise?" style="simple" color="juicy_pink" size="lg" css_animation="fadeInUp" custom_font_container="tag:h2|font_size:22|text_align:left|color:%23666666" custom_google_fonts="font_family:Source%20Sans%20Pro%3A200%2C200italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal" custom_css_animation="none" use_custom_heading="true"]<span style="font-size: 20px;">Exercise is an amazing tool to help us feel happier, more energised, and more optimistic.
