How does distance learning work with us?

We have designed our Gymnasium preparation course to provide a great and productive learning experience also from home using modern teaching methods:

  • Through a comprehensive assessment at the beginning of the course, we can see where your child stands and which topics should be focused on.

  • We offer an optimal combination of physical and digital course materials: Before the start of the course, your child receives a comprehensive course folder for joint virtual lessons and self-study - so you don't have to print the materials at home and your child doesn't have to solve all exercises on the computer.

  • In addition to this we have a modern course platform. There your child can always see which tasks have to be solved by when and finds further interactive materials such as quizzes, digital flashcards and learning videos.

  • For us, distance learning does not mean less guidance - on the contrary! We accompany your child closely during the course period: weekly video conferences with the teacher in the small group are held to discuss a specific topic. There is a group chat, through which the students are in contact with each other and the teacher even between the course periods.

  • In addition, your child will take an intermediate checks for each topic, which will be corrected and evaluated by us. In this way, the teacher can see whether the topic has been understood or whether further consolidation is needed. In case of questions or as needed, additional video sessions are included so that gaps can be specifically addressed.

  • Of course our proven essay training is also included and the students write different essays which are optimized step by step. The students receive written corrections as well as feedback and tips via voice messages.
  • Learning at your own pace: The students can take the courses at any time and from anywhere, using their own equipment. For those who do not have enough time to attend classes locally, distance learning allows them to learn whenever it is convenient for them. The video conferences are recorded and can be repeated as often as required. In case of questions or uncertainties, there is always the possibility for personal exchange with the teacher during the week.
  • Only the mock exam in January takes place physically on site. This allows your child to gain valuable experience in a real exam environment - just like in "real".

Which infrastructure is required for the distance learning?

All your child needs is a computer or tablet with an Internet connection and regular writing materials. The rest of the modern learning environment is provided by Gymivorbereitung Zürich.

      Why are the same participation fees for distance learning as for the classic courses of GVZH on site?

      Distance learning does not mean less guidance from our teachers - on the contrary. Designing online courses in such a way that they do not become monotonous, that the students complete the tasks conscientiously, and that the school material can be taught optimally through digital channels, is not easy. Therefore, our teachers accompany the students closely, are in regular contact with them and the lessons take place several times a week on different days. We are also happy to exchange information with the parents at any time about the current status of your child.

          Until when do you have to register?

          In order to be able to accompany your child optimally, we have limited participation places in our distance learning program. The video lessons always take place in a small group - this way we can not only ensure the best possible support, but also enable a positive group dynamic. Accordingly, we recommend that you register as early as possible.
