Perfect for any child!!!

I wish I found out about Octanschool sooner for my daughter. Each session is very engaging and the team/leadership skills she learns is very helpful for her to apply in school and netball. The content is very well designed and gamified, to supplement what schools don’t cover. Hayley is very passionate, knowledgeable and energetic with the kids. I also like getting the insightful reports and ways we can help her as parents, sometimes things which I didn't realise. Thank you

Empowering kids for future

I signed up for a free trial with Octanschool, after I spoke to Santos who is a parent and the founder for Octanschool. The program is similar to Elon musk’s school for the future. After the trial we continued with the term with Hayley, who is the NSW 2019 teacher of the year award winner. Unlike other classes, I never had to remind or coerce Amy to join octanschool classes, because she was very engaged and having fun. I like the weekly feedback on her performance. Octanschool isn't a replacement for schools but is a good supplement to empower Amy to achieve more at school and life.

Amazing - Highly recommended!

I was looking to keep Josh engaged during the long lockdowns. I saw an ad on facebook from Octanschool and signed up for a free trial. Josh tried a lot of online classes during the lockdowns, but he didn't show much interest in others. With Octanschool he made some good friends from all across Australia because of how they failed and then succeeded in building their own restaurant project in a burndown NSW coastal town. Being online its safe and convenient, but I found it more effective because of how they use digital tools and their own game effectively to engage and teach complex problem solving, critical thinking and other skills which I apply in my corporate job. Hayley and his personal coach is brilliant and go over and beyond to support his learning and development.

Helps kids learn

My Son wasn't being fully stimulated in school and his grades were slipping. He wasn’t very engaged in classes. We tried a few things including tuition but nothing worked. At Octanschool he is very engaged because of the gamified learning to learn complex real-life challenges. Katherine is brilliant with the kids and I get a weekly report from her. They are working in groups and developing their muscle memory in problem-solving and social skills that they apply in school and elsewhere. His engagement at school has increased over the last term. The classes are convenient and safe online.

Education how it should be

I started Octanschool with my 10 year old a year ago, and now my 8 year old started her program on developing problem solving and social skills. I love the concept of preparing kids for the future using gamified learning teaching complex problems, while working in teams and making new friends across Australia. A shout out to Hayley who has been absolutely fantastic as Angeline's teacher this term!
