Remote Learning Program

Our Remote Learning Program

Our Lady of Fatima Excellence Academy offers remote learning by way of distance learning, in which the student, teacher, and learning environment are not physically present in a traditional classroom environment. Classes and learning activities such as discussion boards, video conferencing, and online assessments are conducted through technology. Depending on the lesson, remote learning can occur synchronously with real-time peer-to-peer interaction and collaboration, or asynchronously, with self-paced learning activities that takes place self-reliantly but within a teacher’s instructions.
