Although many schools view online learning as makeshift for the lockdown period after which physical learning would kick off, Mind Smith is specially designed for online classes only.

Dingba said: “Mind Smith is the first full-time online school for primary and secondary students in the world.

Continuing, he said students will receive full classes, promotional exams and transitory exams, both local and international, as students of the Mind Smith Online School.
