Learn at home, on your family's schedule.
Self-Paced is for families who want a full school year without fixed class times. Your child follows a clear plan each week in My FI, works offline as much as possible, and a teacher checks progress.
Who it is for
- Families whose schedule does not fit a fixed class time (shift work, travel, different time zones).
- Children who learn well with a parent or guardian nearby.
- Families who want less screen time – most work is reading, writing and practice on paper.
What your child gets every week
- A weekly plan for every subject: what to learn, what to practise, what to hand in.
- A Learning Book per subject with explanations, worked examples and practice.
- A Parent Guide with simple tips and the answer key.
- Quick checks so you can see if your child really understood – with a second try if needed.
- Teacher feedback on submitted work, and a teacher to ask when your child is stuck.
A normal day
About 2–4 hours depending on grade, at any time of day that suits you. For example: read the lesson in the morning, practise after lunch, do the quick check before dinner. Parents of younger children (Nursery to Grade 3) usually sit with them; older children work more independently.
