Is Remote Learning School registered on BBB?
Remote Learning School is not registered on BBB. Therefore, this business has no BBB rating and accreditation.
Curriculum is constantly evolving and they are always adding new classes and lessons. My kids have learned a lot since joining the remote learning school and I like how the classes can be taken any time and at their own pace
Membership includes the whole family and also each of my kids gets their own email address for free as well as a student ID.
My kids take it in addition to regular school so that they are better prepared for life and the future.
This is the email they sent me:
"Dear Parent, thank you for your interest in RemoteLearning.school's education enrichment program for kids ages 5-17. Unfortunately, due to high demand, the program is currently at capacity. We received a record number of enrollments this week, and we want our admissions department to give new members the full attention they deserve as a student, and our staff takes great care to assign each new student their curriculum, JuniorFolio, student ID, and more, as they begin their new learning journey with us.
We have therefore placed your son on the waitlist, and we currently estimate the wait time to be 2 weeks. Meanwhile, we are refunding any fees you paid during the registration process."
Like I said that's a disappointment since my son was eager to get his school email address and write for the school magazine and learn classes such as Korean and guitar, never seen him so excited about learning! But at least they refunded my money fast without me even having to ask. I will try again enrolling in 2 weeks I really hope I get my son in this program.
What I liked best is that Remote Learning School don't make you pay for each kid, you buy a family membership which saved me a lot of money since I have 3 kids in my family and other online schools wanted to charge for each one.
What I also like about this school is that they provide a student ID which can be used for discounts, a free school email address, as well as JuniorFolio which is a portfolio of the kids achievements.
Customer service is great they always reply fast through email or when I send them a message through their facebook page.
I registered my 6-yo son there because he was not able to focus during the zoom lesson - all kids were shouting at the same time and the teacher did not have the class under control.
With this program, my son is able to take the classes on his own and at any time of the day when he is ready. And the lesson quality is much better then what he got in his own school. Plus he is getting to learn Spanish and French as well! Those courses are included free with the program and it's always good to learn more languages at young age it improves social and cognitive abilities.
Fake reviews: The reviews scattered across the internet were written by the same handful of people. The vast majority of these "people" have only reviewed this "school". The photographs used by some of these reviewers are stocks photos. Alas, since the entire website, "viral" videos and instructor profiles also include stock photos this is unsurprising.
Lacks transparency: they have no sample lessons or trial period. The opportunity to try a sample, view a lesson or try before you buy is universal amongst educational sites. They refuse to answer questions on how they screen their instructors, if they screen their videos, etc. Additionally, the same "social media manager" runs an unemployment website (unemploymentpua) and a school review website (schoolrating.net). It's dishonest to not disclose these relationships, especially when you run the rating website that gives your school perfect reviews. The only interaction on social media for remotelearning.school is from the unemploymentpua account and a blatantly fake account with a stock photo.
They have now blocked my IP address from accessing their site due to my review. This doesn't look good for the company. If you aren't doing anything wrong, why would you block a user.
The classes there are superb and my son has learned a LOT of new things, things that he could not have learned at school because zoom classes are so disorganized.
We also participate in all the fun competitions and activities the school runs such as the costume contest, art contest, virtual science fair and talent show. My son got 3rd place in the virtual science fair and won a gift card.
Overall highly recommended to enroll there you basically need this if you want your kids to get proper education.
My son's project was titled "A Smart Device to Detect Potholes on the Road Using Machine Learning" and as I said it only got 2nd place. The first place project was titled "The Effect Of Magnetism On The Growth of Pea Plants" and it was good, but I feel my son's project was better. I mean, I think solving the issue of potholes is more practical than analyzing the effect of magnetism on pea plants. Since potholes affect us every day and projects such as my son's can actually contribute to people's way of life, while on the other hand not that many people care about pea plants.
I tried submitting an appeal, but was told that the judge's decision was final. The next competition they have is the Halloween costume contest, but my son is less interested in that since he likes science stuff better.
School email address: Each kid gets 100mb of storage. Not a lot if Remote Learning School send lots of videos etc but should be enough for education and communicating with relatives etc. Has parental controls.
School ID - Every child gets a school ID. This is a digital school ID but you can also print it as well as use it for discounts on software and more, both online and offline.
JuniorFolio - This is where varous achievements and certificates are stored so you can showcase their accomplishments and be proud.
Press ID - if the child decides to write for the school magazine they get a very cool press ID
Classes - there are tons of subjects. Classes are pre-recorded and can be taken by the student at any time.
Membership fees - You can choose monthly, Quarterly, Semiannual or life time. Lifetime is probably the best value. Also covers the entire family/household so you dont have to buy membership for every kid in the family which saves a lot of money.
Registration - everything is done online and through email so very conveniten
Customer service - you can ask them anything through email or through their facebook page and they usually reply very fast though sometimes during a busy school week there can be a delay in reponse
Hope this review helps!
All the students also get student IDs and a free school email address. Those can also be used to get student discounts on educational software and a lot more.
There are many classes across many topics and Remote Learning School are always adding more.
Overall it's a very good online program am glad I enrolled my family in it, all kids are learning a lot.
When I first made the decision to homeschool I did was overwhelmed and had no clue what curriculum i'd teach him and was worried about him receiving a good education at home. The Remotelearning program solved this issue since Remote Learning School have all the classes and materials organized online and my kid can take them at his own pace. He also got a digital student ID which will prove useful for student discounts.
His 14 year old brother attends in-person school but also taking advantage of the membership since many classes interest him, as well as to strengthen his math skills since he is really excited about math and excited to be a mathematician when he grows up
Remote Learning School offer many classes including those not offered by other similar programs, such as virtual fitness classes, dancing, and musical instruments. My older son is taking the electric guitar class.
There's also many other cool features the program offers but my phone is almost out of battery so will end the review here thanks for reading.
PROS:
-Students get a school email address
-Students get a student ID card that can be used for discounts
-Lots of virtual contests the students can participate in such as a virtual science fair and virtual halloween costume contest
-Student can write for school magazine and receive press ID
-Lots of classes to choose from.
CONS:
-The student email address has only 100mb of storage so can't send too many big attachments
-With so many classes, sometimes its hard to choose which one to do next
-A lot of competition in the contests making it hard to win one of the top 3 prizes
-sometimes the school magazine gets too many articles and your article may not get published until the next issue
I hope this helps everyone weigh the cons and pros!
