Academy details
Live lessons
Our Science Academy teaching is done via online live lessons which are held weekly for each grade. In each lesson, learners will be guided by their Science Academy educator as well as a technical support team member. Before each lesson, learners will be given notes for their upcoming session to enable them to download and print them or have them available on their devices before the lesson.
Weekly progress tests
Application of knowledge is key to learning success, especially in Physical Science. Therefore, in addition to the weekly live-online lessons and online video lessons the Science Academy learners write a weekly progress assessment that tests them on concepts learnt in previous weeks and even previous years. This forced test repetition is a cornerstone of Advantage Learn’s Science learning methodology. It ensures that learners spend focused time practising. It also reveals gaps in their understanding to enable correction and excellence in school tests and exams throughout the year.
