Village Square courses are developed and delivered by expert educators on a wide range of subjects. Categories include:
Arts, music, writing and literature, languages, coding, gaming. life skills, health and wellness, science and environment, maths and society.
Most of the courses on Village Square feature multiple lessons, with at least one lesson per week. There are, however, some single-day courses available.
The portal is organised to make it easy to find courses. You can search by subject headings, most popular courses, when a course will be offered or keywords eg. “minecraft” or “dinosaurs”. You can also save courses to “favourites” for later.
The prices of the courses will vary based on the duration and the skill level of the course. Students will have the flexibility to design their own course mix based on their interest.
Not at all! Village Square courses are for any children aged 7-16 with an interest in learning and who enjoy the chance to work with other students and educators from around the world in a real-time learning environment. Although the courses are popular amongst homeschoolers, they are also ideal for students who are contemplating leaving school in favour of an alternative learning experience, as well as school students who enjoy learning independently in their spare time.
Village Square educators earn 70% of the pooled revenue, based on the number of teaching hours and the number of students in a given course. Depending on the course then, it may be anywhere from $25 to $70+ per hour.
