Virtual Reality in Education : Olympia National School Pune

We as society seek to adhere to new normal due to corona pandemic; Olympia National School adds new feature to help students to travel & learn about various places and things in and around the world virtually.


Olympia National School Pune strives to provide best facilities to enable learning for our students. Along with bag less schools, worksheet methodology, subject themed classrooms, virtual reality becomes another attribute to impart learnings to the students.


Here are 5 reasons why Olympia National School included virtual reality in its academic curriculum portfolio:


1. Make Learning Fun Again

How many of us have heard these words from a student – “I’m bored.” Teachers work tirelessly to engage students through interactive games and projects, group work, public speaking and a multitude of other avenues. Often times their efforts fall flat.

To say virtual reality would make class interesting again is an understatement. It would also allow teachers to bring lessons to life. Students would experience hands-on, real life encounters that will prepare them for the future.

2. Memorable Experiences

Imagine transporting a child to the ancient ruins of Pompeii, the sunken wreck of the Titanic or the Great Wall of China? No school budget could sustain these adventures, but virtual reality education can make it happen! Children would have the opportunity to have once in a lifetime experiences.

Virtual reality can also help prepare students for the future workforce by teaching real-life skills. A scenario designed around a current lesson on topics such as specialized training, vocational jobs or nursing can be “practiced” and experienced using this technique.

3. Technology is the Future

Technology has transformed the classroom in recent years. Students have gone from passive learners to active learners. There’s no denying that in order to be successful in the 21st century, students need efficient technological skills.

It’s not often you see a child under the age of 4 that isn’t swiftly navigating a tablet faster than any adult. The benefits of virtual reality are in fact a reality!

4. Virtual Reality Education Bridges the Gap of Learners

Because most students can easily navigate virtual reality they feel accomplished. It’s a rewarding experience, which means a positive one. If children feel confident in their ability to learn, they will continue to seek out further enriching experiences.

A student can also be whoever they want to be in the virtual reality world. Race, gender, and age don’t matter. They are free to be themselves and feel accepted. This opens up doors for learning in new and different ways.

5. Promotes Creativity and Curiosity

Virtual reality education puts the power in the hands of the learner. They are allowed to make decisions and adjustments in the alternate “universe”. Students experiment with their creativity, prompted by their curiosity of how things work.


We at Olympia National School Pune aim to empower students learning process through virtual reality.
