In 2021, Schutz American School reached out to SmartClass with a clear goal: to enhance the learning experiences of their
new students and help them catch up with their peers. The school was facing significant challenges with its existing technology and curriculum. Teachers were struggling to meet the diverse needs of students at varying proficiency levels, leading to frustration and disengagement. They needed a solution
that would enable them to support individualized learning effectively while optimizing their classroom time.

What set SmartClass apart was its unique ability to allow teachers to create multiple classes for students with different levels of proficiency, all within the same classroom environment. This feature not only saved teachers valuable time but also facilitated a more personalized and engaging learning experience.

Since implementing SmartClass, Schutz American School has experienced significant improvements in classroom dynamics and student engagement. The flexible curriculum platform has empowered teachers to cater to various learning styles and proficiency levels, enabling individualized instruction that meets each student’s needs.
