MarcoPolo World School is a digital learning platform that provides young children with knowledge about the world around them in a way that nurtures their natural curiosity and teaches foundational skills playfully.

In support of the many families that are remote working from home, they are committed to empowering parents with premium content to ensure children are well educated and even entertained during these challenging times.
“Juggling work, home, school and caring for the needs of young children has never been more difficult to manage. We are thrilled to offer MarcoPolo World School to provide our enrolled families with additional support and motivation for at-home learning,” said Gigi Schweikert, President & COO of Lightbridge Academy.
Justin Hsu, CEO of MarcoPolo Learning says “In these uncertain times, parents need support and access to nutritious content. We’re delighted to be making a difference by helping Lightbridge children continue to learn, and have fun, through our educator approved lessons and activities.”
The partnership between MarcoPolo Learning and Lightbridge Academy will grant complimentary access to their families for the next two months. Children will be able to explore independently and parents can use it to support at-home learning. “The Marco Polo World School perfectly aligns with the core of our curriculum, which addresses the development of the whole child. Whether exploring the music room, learning to write letters or taking a virtual field trip, this app will provide with a multitude of options. It is also being incorporated into our Preschool and Pre-K classrooms,” said Ms. Schweikert.
“MarcoPolo World School feeds curiosity about the natural world.” Hsu says. “With thousands of video lessons and activities, young children can learn about the human body, habitats, space, dinosaurs and much more. Children can discover interesting topics on their own and parents can track their progress through weekly reports promoting healthy parent-child interactions.”
