Student Stories
Discover what makes Eton Academy different as our students share their experiences.
Liza, Grade 9
“My family and I travel a lot, which makes online school extremely helpful. I can continue my studies after moving with the same people, without a sudden change in place/language and curriculum. In many places where we move to, there are few opportunities in schools, which makes online school a helpful and effective way to learn.” - Liza
Meet Liza, a Year 9 student at Eton Academy whose unique lifestyle takes her across the globe due to her parent's work. Navigating traditional schools amid constant travel presented unique challenges to her education; constantly changing schools made maintaining friendships a struggle, and adapting to different curriculums left gaps in her learning. But Eton Academy's online platform has become a lifeline for Liza.
By providing a consistent educational experience, she has overcome the hurdles of constantly changing schools. Online learning allows her to stay in the same lessons, with the same friends and challenges such as changing curriculums and limited education options in some countries no longer hinder Liza's learning journey. Eton Academy's flexibility enables her to study wherever she goes, ensuring her education remains uninterrupted and her friendships flourish.
For families like Liza's, who find themselves constantly on the move, Eton Academy can be a beacon of educational stability. We not only bridge the gaps in traditional schooling caused by frequent relocations but also create a connected and supportive learning environment for students with nomadic lifestyles.
Liza is currently writing her first novel and has a passion for poetry, and she has graciously allowed us to share one of her insightful poems:
‘One, trapping themself
Can never be free
They can’t think for themselves
Cannot listen and see
To free oneself
One must try to see
Why am I here?
What do I be?
One hating themself
Can never escape
For no matter what
They have nothing to save
One only wanting to win
Can never believe
So they'll always lose
For they cannot receive
What can I ask?
How can I last?
Where is my mask?
Is this a test?
If you're always sorry
And you always worry
You are never free
For you don’t believe
That you can just be’
