The educational landscape is rapidly evolving, driven by advancements in technology and changing learning styles. While traditional systems are only beginning to adapt, National Teachers College (NTC), following its merger with APEC Schools, offers a forward-thinking solution: NTC SmartClass. This innovative homeschooling program combines NTC’s extensive teaching experience with APEC’s tech-focused approach to foster meaningful and effective learning, sparking a child’s curiosity.
NTC SmartClass offers significant academic flexibility, allowing students to learn at their own pace, revisit topics as needed, and explore advanced subjects when they are ready. The program adapts to individual student schedules, offering a personalized learning environment.
Marie Cruz, an NTC SmartClass parent, observed a notable increase in her son Dave’s engagement. “In the previous [homeschooling program], he told me that it was okay, but he wasn’t being stimulated to learn more,” she stated. “With SmartClass, the Subject Matter Experts spark something in them to delve deeper.”
Marie also highlighted how the program nurtured Dave’s specific interests. “My son is tech-y, and now, he is into 3D printing and modeling, as well as programming, all because he’s learning at his own pace.”
She also noted the program’s broader benefits for families, including financial savings. “The money we save from not having to pay for school buses, commuting, and school lunches goes to our travels, because we like to travel as a family. NTC SmartClass helped us do that.”
Cherille Siquete, another homeschooling parent, found NTC SmartClass to be an ideal solution when traditional schooling proved unsuitable for her daughter.
“It was really like a hand in a glove,” Cherille shared. “It was a perfect fit for me and my child because the values are there, and it’s so flexible that she can attend her classes or not, depending on her, so it’s really the best choice for us.”
After a year in the program, she noted a significant increase in her daughter’s independence and accountability.
“Their independence and accountability really go up,” she added. “Because it is their responsibility to know and submit their projects; if they do not, there are consequences. Therefore, they try their best to submit all their requirements.” Cherille emphasized, “There’s a different kind of skill and a different kind of value that they would be able to get from SmartClass that they won’t get from traditional schools or other homeschool programs.”
NTC SmartClass is at the forefront of modern education, delivering a dynamic and personalized learning experience that empowers students and enriches family life.
