You’ve checked out our website, you’ve had an intro call to meet us, and now it’s time to bring your child in for a placement call! But what exactly is an placement call, and is there anything you should do to prepare?
First of all, you can put yourself at ease– there’s nothing major you need to do beforehand. Here’s what we request:
-
The student and legal guardian both need to be present.
-
Use a device with a larger screen, such as a laptop or iPad (not a phone).
What to expect?
We’ll lead your child through a playful, gamified virtual learning activity. This will take about 15 minutes of the call and it'll give you a good sense of what we offer at bina. This activity requires no preparation– it is essentially a guided conversation between us and your child, touching on their knowledge and skills. You'll also have the opportunity to ask any questions you're wondering about.
Here are some questions we often hear during a placement call.
-
Can I get information about a “day in the life” for a student at bina?
-
What academic subjects are covered at bina?
-
What qualifications do Master Teachers have?
-
What types of activities are typically incorporated into a bina school day?
-
How does bina integrate social-emotional learning?
-
How is student progress monitored? How will progress be communicated with me?
-
What materials will my child need?
-
If my child is accepted, when is the earliest they can begin?
Following the call, our team will meet to discuss the perfect placement for your child. You’ll hear back from us within a few days with a decision.
