Learning at home: Our big list of great resources
Independent Schools Victoria
We've created a list of learning at home resources from around the world for parents and kids, to complement the remote learning provided by schools.
Following our super list of great ideas for kids at home, we’ve created a list of home learning resources for parents and kids, to complement the at home learning provided by schools.
We’ve loosely group these into age-appropriate categories, but be sure to check them all out as some suit varying age groups.
If you come across a great resource that you think others would find helpful, contact us with the details via email and we’ll add it to the list.
