SCHOLAR LEAFLET

SCHOLAR is one of the world’s largest school e-learning education programmes and it is available to support every pupil studying Intermediates and Higher and Advanced Higher courses in Maths and Science, Modern Foreign Languages and Business subjects in every secondary school in Angus.  The SCHOLAR website and learning materials can be readily accessed from home as well as in school thus supporting independent study   If snow closures interrupt school attendance this winter then SCHOLAR can be one option that senior students can use to continue their studies.  If your child does not have a SCHOLAR password, please encourage him or her to ask their teacher for this.  

A Parent Information Leaflet is attached which gives you more information about the SCHOLAR programme and the advantages of its use to your child. Please click on the link below to access the leaflet:
