84% of students surveyed said they found online provisions more effective, or as affective as the in-person alternative and 75% of parents, tutors and organisations declared it to be at least as effective as in-person tutoring. This suggests that the education community is quickly adapting to the use of innovative technologies and open to exploring new digital ways of teaching and learning.  At Harrow School Online we believe that virtual learning can and does provide a complete school experience with a wide range of benefits, and this seems to be corroborated by recent research findings too. When asked about the main benefits of online learning, tutors, students, and parents were quite unanimous in the benefits they shared and agreed on.
