Home-Based Learning (HBL)
Information on Home-Based Learning (HBL)
What is NV HBL?
HBL engages students in learning the curriculum using less structured approaches, providing flexibility for self-directed planning and time management.
Students will engage in different modes of learning, allowing them to learn at their own pace.
On HBL days, students will stay at home and complete learning tasks remotely, without reporting to school.
Please note, HBL days may or may not fall on Even Thursdays. Kindly refer to the schedule for the specific dates.
