Homeschooling
Virtual school for online schoolers
We are an online school, a virtual school. Our virtual school shares the same objectives as traditional brick-and-mortar schools. We offer Primary School education for ages 4-11 and Secondary School education for ages 11-18. Parents or students opt for BBrainy® International School over traditional schools because it accommodates their lifestyle.
Quality
We uphold rigorous quality standards, striving to meet educational benchmarks relevant to your country. We continuously monitor progress toward attainment of learning objectives crucial for diplomas or other quality benchmarks. To accomplish this, we employ our comprehensive learning goal tracking system, Maius. Maius encompasses a database of learning objectives sourced from diverse educational institutions, encompassing Primary Schools, Secondary Schools, Vocational Education and Applied Universities.
Global Awards
Our school is accredited to the American Board of Education and the Italian Ministry of Education, we provide: very high level internationally recognized.
We offer multiple curriculum: choose from American, British or Italian educational pathways, as well as opportunities to
Multilingual learning for all ages.
Lessons
During enrollment, we establish agreements regarding subjects, levels, and lesson hours. As a standard practice, we provide 300 lesson hours per year, with each session lasting 50 minutes. While we observe summer and holiday breaks, the timing of these periods may vary due to our global presence. Hence, lesson hours will be predetermined for the year through mutual agreement. For instance, subjects such as Italian, History, Geography, Math, and Science are typically scheduled for an average of 7-8 hours per week over 40 weeks.
Our goal is to maintain classes with approximately 12 students to facilitate effective individualized learning. While our dedicated educators mentor students towards self-reliance, we strive to strike a healthy balance between instruction and guidance.
