The future of high schooling is online - and it comes with A+ benefits

In the sixth instalment of Inside Investing, BizNews founder Alec Hogg spoke with the founder of the Valenture Institute, Robert Paddock. Paddock - who has built up the highly successful online learning platform, GetSmarter - says that Covid-19 has really changed things up for many people. This includes learners and teachers, who have traded in the classroom for a Zoom call. Not only does the unique set up of the Valenture Institute allow for an entire new outlook on what high school education is, but also how it is experienced. 'The leaders of tomorrow are not ones that can recite the periodic table. They're the ones who can engage creatively, collaboratively, be effective communicators, problem solvers and so much more. Really, those are the skills that we feel we're doing a great job developing in our students.' In this discussion, Paddock and Hogg discuss various elements of the online high school experience, including the differences between online education and conventional schooling, what the Valenture Institute is all about and more.
