Mumbai, 24 November 2020 (GPN): Parents whose children did not attend the online schooling this academic year need not worry. As a part of the EuroKids Group initiative to facilitate learning and continue supporting the learning journey of your child, the group announced the launch of a ‘Pre-Preparatory Course – Bridge Course’ across the network of schools.

 The course will be offered to the students of EuroSchool & Billabong High International School from Nursery to Grade 1 at no additional fee in a bid to empower and prepare students for the next grade.

The bridge course will mainly focus on academics and enhancing the skills required to ensure that children are well prepared for the next academic year. The course structure will be ‘virtual’ through a combination of methods such as videos, worksheets, activities, experiments and interactive games.  It will help the students in reading, writing, math/number sense, comprehension, logical and critical thinking.

Rahul Deshpande, CEO, EuroSchool & Billabong High International School, said, “We always consider our parents as our true partners in the learning journey of their children. We realized that in the current scenario, with limited access to curated quality learning, it has become even more important to build a sense of confidence among young children and parents as they start a new academic year.

I am thrilled to announce this wonderfully designed pre-preparatory Bridge Course. This will help children learn important concepts & revisit fundamental topics in an engaging and fun-filled manner before going to next grade. The goal is to ensure children are mentally, emotionally and ‘academically’ prepped up for the new academic year. Over the last 18 years, we have played an active role in the evolution of the education landscape with our portfolio of schools committed to delivering a robust foundation for future generations. We encourage parents to walk the journey with us and facilitate the holistic development of their children.”
