So, let’s look at what Re|Mind Virtual Academy means.

Our company name is an incredibly important part of our identity. We believe it is distinctive, memorable and embodies the feeling of our brand.

with reference to

the element of a person that enables them to be AWARE of the world and their experiences (to THINK)

Using the mind to totally engage

the one place that’s supposed to give young people an equal chance at life always has been and is becoming increasingly unequal is education.  Inequity between wealthier and poorer people continues to exist.

This brother and sister team were the products of an unequal schooling system and wanted to desperately change this status quo but do it differently. We wanted to create an innovative platform that includes all the solutions in the same educational environment for a successful learning experience.

We started more than 2 years ago, mainly because we were frustrated at the quality and type of engagements that most (if not all) digital learning institutes were (and are still) providing to learners – cookie-cutter, one size fits all learning. In the digital learning world, the learner was/is seen as a passive recipient of mainly video learning content. In addition, everything was focussed on what was convenient to the institute providing the learning – minimum engagement with the learner, maximum cost of the courses, easy to provide, factory-style learning, to name just a few aspects.

When we decided to build our digital school, we felt very strongly about 2 key points that formed the core of our academy’s strategy (and ethos):

• the learner MUST be at the centre of the learning experience

• be digitally focussed, but without losing the human element.

First and foremost, we wanted to put the learner at the centre of the learning experience, EACH AND EVERY SINGLE TIME. And we wanted to do it in a way that they are always fully engaged and immersed at every level in their own learning experience.

We engage the learner at a level and in a manner that is beneficial to them. We do it in various ways, each building off the other.

At R|M|V|A, we don't believe that we have to keep learning in the same way that we have since the Industrial Revolution - factory-style conveyor belt learning. Or even since technology defined how we learn - cookie-cutter, video focussed, remote learning, lacking the human element.

At R|M|V|A, our focus is on the learning adventure that we can give you, our learner. Our message to you is:
