I have managed to grow. The school has a variety of different teachers, each with their own spark, and all of them are amazing teachers. With the astonishing work of the teachers, I have managed to improve my grades on such a large scale, and I have been able to have undeniably enjoyable lessons, with students interacting with each other and occasionally some educationally competitive activities. Let’s not forget the much-needed support staff constantly working to improve the school and the platform. The support staff has always been quick to fix any problems and has always been unquestionably kind and reassuring. This school has been a huge change of good in my life, teachers, support, students, and all, thank you so much!

Small class sizes, personalised learning.
We do not have lecture style classes with hundreds of students like many other online schools.
The maximum number of students in each class at Thomas Keith Independent School is 19 and most classes are much smaller than that. Every time the class number hits 20, we split the class into two.
