You do not need to be a STEM specialist

Common questions

How much time does it take each week?

Schools run SKOOL21 in a 45 or 90 minute weekly session.

Do we need a special room?

No. It is designed for an ordinary classroom.

What if teachers have no STEM background?

Every level has a guidebook with lesson plans and answer keys, and onboarding is available self-paced, in person or online.

What does the kit warranty cover?

Learning kits carry a one-year warranty. Ask your distributor for the terms in your market.

What if we have no reliable devices for assessment?

Use the paper fallback: read each item aloud, learners circle their answers, and a teacher enters them online later. The same scoring and reports apply.

Is it available in other languages?

Yes. There are Arabic, Mandarin, Turkish and Vietnamese editions.
