Thank You 

Thank you for for enrolling you son or daughter into the School House Canada on-line educational program. Your child's education is important to us and we will do everything possible to ensure that he or she is successful.
During this trying time, we would like to share a few  suggestions with you that will help your child succeed in his or her studies.

10 habits of Successful students

  1. Get Organized. Making a plan for what you're going to do and when you're going to do it will make sure you're always ahead of the curve - literally. 

  2. Don't multitask. Studies have shown that multitasking is physically impossible. 

  3. Divide it up. Studying isn't fun to begin with, and forcing yourself through a study marathon will only make it worse. Dividing your work into manageable chunks and rewarding yourself when you finish each chunk will make studying (more) fun.

  4. Sleep. Don't underestimate the importance of those eight hours of zzz's every night! Getting a good night's rest will sharpen your focus and improve your working memory.

  5. Set a schedule. Do you work as soon as possible after it is assigned. Delaying it will often lead to procrastination and needless stress  Work in blocks of time then take a break Are you more productive in 90-minute blocks or half-hour spurts? Find a schedule that works for you, and stick to it. 

  6. Take notes. Taking notes will not only keep you more engaged, but will also help you narrow down what you need to study when exam time rolls around. It's much easier to reread your notes than to reread your entire textbook!

  7. Study. This one might be obvious, but did you know that there's a right and a wrong way to study? Review your material several days ahead of time, in small chunks, and in different manners (for example, write flashcards one day and take practice tests the next). In other words, don't cram. 

  8. Manage your study space. Find a place that will maximize your productivity. Look for places away from the television and other distractions. Whether it's your local library or just the desk in your bedroom, set aside a study space that you'll want to spend time in. 

  9. Find a study group. Sitting down with a group of people who are learning the same things as you is a great way to go over confusing class material or prepare for a big test. You can quiz each other, reteach material, and make sure that everyone is on the same page. After all, teaching someone else is the best way to learn. 

  10. Ask questions. Although you're not in school, don't be afraid to ask questions and seek out people, such as your parents, siblings, friends or tutor. They may be able to help you or point you in the right direction.! Asking for help is a surefire way to make sure you truly understand the material.
