Online Art School is to improve the skills and knowledge of the 40 kids by teaching general knowledge, book reading, communication English and additional necessary lessons that is hard for the teachers to provide during school times. As well as help the house tutors to improve their soft skills in teaching and learning by supporting the online teacher.
Over the year, we will look forward to improve the student’s soft skills and link them with the mainstream platforms like spelling bee, Bangladesh Youth leadership Junior Program, Debate competitions and other national level programs.

ONLINE TEACHING THE WAY FORWARD FOR NOW
From the very beginning we have struggled to find a good teaching solution for English in Comilla. Going forward, we have introduced English tutorials and other more General Knowledge enhancement classes through the internet. We installed a projector, computer and install internet connectivity in the class room located in Annex Building. Classes are talking by a qualified teacher based in Dhaka. Ms. JannatulFerdous, Fellow, Teach for Bangladesh from September 2016.
Ms. Jannatul Ferdous is joining us as the online general knowledge teacher. Her career in education began as a fellow of Teach for Bangladesh where she taught Bangla, English, Math, General Sciences and Social Science. Jannatul chose education because she believes that education is the best medium to multiply its impacts which in turn provides a long-term outcome. She aspires to provide a challenging and well-rounded learning environment which will enhance the children’s eagerness to learn. Her creative, colorful and fun approach towards learning is bringing out the enthusiasm and excitement in all of us.
