Safe…
Socially active…
Teacher-led learning…
Fun!
Can all of the above elements be possibly found in our kids’ learning journey this “pandemic” school year?
Yes! In Star Academics, they can.
Star Academics has modified our in-center programs to support students’ educational needs in these uncertain times.
Our students will continue their learning journey with their friends in a small stable group pod,
complete with dedicated seating,
a fixed teacher,
a clean classroom and
6 feet social distancing rules;
in other words, we have created a COVID-19 pod-class for learning where your children can interact safely with other students in a small stable group setting.
Morning Learning Pod
Each program’s tuition fee is $400 for 2 weeks, with the following options.
- 5 days in-center classes weekly (Mon-Fri, 8:00 am – 12 noon)
- 3 days in-center classes weekly (choose between Mon-Fri, 8:00 am – 12 noon ) + 2 online lessons weekly
- 4 days in-center classes weekly (choose between Mon-Fri, 8:00 am – 12 noon ) + 1 online lesson weekly

During each session, students will be guided by a teacher on:
- their online homework from their school teachers,
- supervised completion and submission of their online class assignments. (Parents that has gone through schools’ distant learning between March -May this year, know that this is not an easy task),
- continuous learning with our in-center Math and English Language Arts Singapore-Math-Common-Core syllabus material
- Supervised interaction with friends
Safety protocols adopted to give you the piece of mind include:
- 6 feet all-round-distancing seating arrangement
