HOW CAN WE HELP?
SV Online focuses on real world learning. We teach programming and robotics through projects that are relatable to real world experiences! It allows students to focus on developing creativity, critical thinking and technical skills while learning.
We’re focused on your child learning real skills:
Our team is composed of Engineers and Educators! Technical skills are great, but best paired with great interpersonal skills! Your child will learn technical skills through classrooms, and creating projects. They will develop interpersonal skills such as team work, collaboration and problem solving through competitions and events!
Take us anywhere!:
Let's be honest, you’re busy. We’re entirely online so we can be accessed anywhere: From your car, the dentists or the line in the grocery store. Although, your child will be best suited in an environment where they can focus, participate and engage with their instructors.
Your Child Needs A Mentor:
Learning isn’t a smooth process. We want to assure students we’re watching over both their stumbles and success. Our Monthly mentorship gives students motivation, confidence, and holds them accountable to their participation.
Your Child will be engaged:
Points, Competitions, Online Communities, Classrooms and Projects. We aim to ensure students are continuously engaged, participating and building a love for their learning.
You can access the Parent Dashboard via the SV Online Platform. This will give you insight to your child’s progress, experiences and projects.
Yes, but we don’t call it homework! Students are assigned mini-projects and tasks through their classrooms to work on when outside of the classroom. We also provide access to our exclusive online software to work on particular skills in their courses.
Students are enrolled into courses based on their experience, and interests. This is facilitated through the initial mentorship meeting!
We love students who want to continually learn. Our SV Online Forum is a perfect way for students to ask questions outside of class to be answered by our mentors and instructors!
We accept students on a rolling basis. Use Get Started to meet with us!
Group Classrooms are recorded and sent to absent students after the lesson is complete. Private classes can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance of the scheduled class.
Schedules are dependent on the student plan you choose. Group sessions are set in time slots: Weekends Only, Weekdays Only, or Weekends & Weekdays. Private classes are flexible and can be scheduled pertaining to your child's availability.
Real world experience means learning from outside of the classroom. Whether this be competitions, events, hackathons, volunteering and work experiences!
SV Instructors and Mentors are students and graduates of engineering disciplines from Canadian and U.S Universities. Our SV Instructors come from a wide variety of engineering disciplines including: Software, Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Computer Science. This allows students to get unique experiences from different perspectives of fields!
Our Instructors are extensively trained in teaching as well as providing a great classroom experience. We also ensure Instructors have actual real world experience, which allows them to bring their experiences into the classroom.
Yes! These Certifications are independent of our organization! Please notify your Mentor of your interest in earning a certification in their course.
Hackathons are both similar and different from Competitions. They are more focused on solving a huge problem with an idea. The purpose of the hackathon is to create that idea within 36 hours (Yes! That means overnight hacking) with a team of like minded individuals. Students complete and present their idea to a team of judges to win prizes.
Students tend to spend 3-6 months in each course. Students are eligible to graduate out of their sections as early as 4 months. In order to graduate into the next level of the course, they are required to complete a graduation project covering all of the key learning areas in their course.
Access to a Laptop/Computer and a stable internet connection is all that is needed! A working camera and microphone (built-in or separate) is highly recommended!
Students are encouraged to learn in and outside of the classroom. Aside from Group or Private Sessions, students are engaged in homework, projects and competitions.
Our programs start at 7 years old. It's our Mentors duty to appropriately enroll students into a classroom they’ll fit well into. Get started here!
