Literature, Literacy and Critical Thinking for High School Students
With more than 10 years of online educational experience, CTM offers a full-fledged alternative for when it is not possible to provide on-site instruction. We understand that teachers are under a lot of pressure to avoid falling too far behind in their classes and supplying students with tasks. Some schools have difficulty securing materials and content so quickly and without prior experience in online education.
Moreover, online education is not about assignments and self-study materials that will be used upon return to the normal mode of school. Students need feedback that they understand the substance of the courses and the ability to prove their knowledge without difficulty.
Unique mentoring system
At CTM, we work to provide continuous feedback from a "live" experienced instructor to make sure that students really understand the material. The tasks are chosen in such a way that students demonstrate their understanding of theory and apply what they learn in practice. The basic system is online and it has been used by hundreds of thousands of students. Children enjoy the experience and, in addition, it is in English, so it develops several abilities and skills at the same time.
We offer a meaningful, proven and entertaining alternative for students that will further enhance their ICT competencies and introduce them to a path of education that is gaining importance today.
CTM Online is a comprehensive system that works for the long-term. It is one of the leaders in digital education, mainly thanks to instructors who lead and accompany courses.
How can schools work with CTM to study from home?
We offer two options for schools — Literature, Literacy and Critical Thinking for High School Students and, for bilingual schools, we can customize an individual offering from the CTM Online course catalog.
You don't have to worry about content. The course is prepared by the CTM team and updated regularly according to feedback. Students register through our website. CTM provides training for your teachers and support throughout the course – whether it be technical questions, online student enrollment, or teaching recommendations. Count on us. Over 2,200 students have gone through our online courses and then headed off to the best universities around the world.

The unit works with texts and works of art that deal with different forms of the relationship between human and technology.
