When it comes to traditions and new approaches, offline and online learning, it can be difficult to decide. We have taken care of parents – now they don’t have to choose.
Our school is suitable for those who:
Online school, 3rd grade
AP School – for those who value quality education.

Who is online learning in 3rd grade suitable for?
This is a combination of the advantages of two formats, created for those students who are tired of traditional education.
Online 3rd-grade curriculum
Languages
Ukrainian (language and literature), English/German/Polish
Children begin to study the structures and composition of languages.
Parts of speech, sentence classification, literature — more than Shevchenko.
We teach according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science, but in an interactive style.
Arts
Music, visual arts.
We explore the works of prominent Ukrainian artists: composers, performers, painters, and directors.
We noticed that not everyone pays enough attention to these parts of cultural education, so we added more hours for them to the program.
Technical subjects
Mathematics: from addition and subtraction to multiplication and division, equations, fractions, elements of geometry.
Computer science – simple algorithms, introduction to programming.
Physical education
Physical education includes some theory.
We delve into the history of sports – different types of sports.
You need to buy your child an exercise mat where they can repeat the exercises after the teacher.
We do a minimum of physical education every day – we do exercises so as not to sit too much.
Integrated subjects
Wallet of Dreams – an introduction to financial literacy through interactive tasks and simulations.
I Explore the World – Part 3 of “Natural Science at Maximum”.
Advantages of online learning in 3rd grade
Expanding our thinking
We are gradually approaching an understanding of “critical thinking” — learning to analyze information. We ask questions such as “Why are we learning?” and “How will learning affect the future?”
Moving to a new level of independence
Every year, parents have less and less control over their children. We learn to be reliable: when we say we will study our lessons and do our homework, we will do it. We learn to be responsible for ourselves.
Developing interest in subjects
How to find something interesting in something uninteresting? We set an example with our program and teach children to find specific benefits for themselves in each subject.
The benefits of distance
An online school is the best place for third-graders to understand their teacher and classmates. Here, there is time to give a thoughtful answer — no one will rush you, and no one will have to blush for their mistakes, because in a physical classroom, this opportunity is not always available.
How does learning take place in an online school for third-grade students?
How does the school day go?
Comfortably
Classes in the first shift start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 1:00/2:00 p.m.
In the second shift: 12:00 p.m. – 4:00/5:00 p.m.
Lessons last up to 45 minutes, with short (5–10 min) and long (45 min) breaks.
How are classes conducted?
Close to You
Our original format combines offline and online learning. On the other side of the screen is the teacher: they stand at full height, and the board is the student’s screen, through which they see the teacher. Everything is like in a regular school, but there is no need to look over the head of the tallest classmate, because all the material is as close to the child as possible.
How does knowledge get into the head?
Technology
This board, AP Desk, is also an image of the material. But not as a canvas of text, but in the form of an educational cartoon — children watch it and then practice their knowledge. The teacher does this with the help of online development games, illustrations instead of terms, and 3D models instead of abstract examples or black-and-white drawings.
Advice from AP School teachers for parents of third graders
The first years are behind us. Distance learning will live up to expectations in third grade too, just help a little to make the result perfect.
Develop
Move from “learning to read” to “reading to learn” — help make knowledge applicable. If possible, find a club that your child will enjoy.
Learn from the student
This helps us as an educational institution. Ask children about everyday things from the program they have completed — show them that they already have something to talk about.
Praise
Not only for achievements, but also for attempts and failures. Maintain motivation so that the child sees how important it is.
Teach autonomy
Talk to the teacher about the child in their presence so that they can speak for themselves later.
Leave a request for a consultation
Leave a request and receive detailed information about our educational services from the manager.
Frequently asked questions about studying at an online school, 3rd grade
Is parental assistance required during 3rd grade?
At the 3rd grade level, we gradually introduce self-discipline, but parents should be involved in the process. Although not as often as in previous grades. It is necessary to regularly review the teacher’s comments, and it is recommended to listen to the class teacher, as well as the school manager, because he or she conveys these recommendations.
How do you motivate students to learn in 3rd grade?
We make learning fun. The third grade in an online format, as well as other grades, gave us the opportunity to work through ingrained stereotypes and change attitudes towards distance learning. Interactivity is the answer. Educational cartoons, educational games, visualization of material — 3D models and illustrations — all this contributes to the fact that the child actually wants to study.
Is it possible to transfer from offline to online in the middle of the year?
We provide this opportunity. During the transition, we conduct a “short knowledge assessment” — we find out what the student has already learned in their previous place of study in order to highlight the areas that we will reinforce.
How do you help if a child falls behind the program?
We conduct additional individual lessons if there is one child. If there are several, it makes sense to conduct a repeat lesson to reinforce knowledge. Online learning in the 3rd grade provides this opportunity.
