Introduction

"Online school? That lacks social contact!" - We often hear this sentence. And yes, the prejudice is understandable. Many people think of online learning as isolated work on a screen - without any real dialogue or classroom atmosphere.
But modern online schools such as EduNomads prove this: Social interaction also works digitally - if it is consciously designed.

In this post, we show how digital community structures create real connection, what our students value most about interaction - and why we believe that real community doesn't need a classroom.

1️. Why social contacts are so important

Children and young people learn not only with their heads, but also by interacting with others.

✅ They want to exchange ideas
✅ Giving and receiving feedback
✅ Share successes - and be allowed to fail sometimes
✅ Being part of a group that sees them and takes them with them

Social development is a central component of every good school - including online.

Parents often ask us:
‘Will my child be lonely in online school?’
Our answer: No - when community is actively lived.

2️. How we shape community digitally

At EduNomads, social learning takes place on several levels - consciously and close to everyday life:

🔹 Regular group work & project phases
Our students work in teams, develop ideas together and present results - digitally, but live.

🔹 Digital classrooms with exchange zones
In our learning spaces, there are channels for group work, discussion, break-time talks - and even our own memes and challenges.

🔹 Virtual events & community moments
Whether it's a quiz evening, project presentation or online coffee break: we create space for encounters, fun and collaboration.

🔹 Mentoring system & buddy principle
New pupils are welcomed, accompanied and supported by others - just like in a real class community.

3️. What pupils and parents particularly appreciate

💬 ‘I have better friendships here than at my old school.’
💬 ‘Finally, my child can learn AND be part of a community - without bullying or peer pressure.’
💬 ‘I was surprised how much closeness is possible online.’

This feedback shows:
Community is not a place - it is a feeling. And this arises wherever you consciously make it possible.

Conclusion: online does not mean lonely

Social interaction doesn't need corridors or circles of chairs - it needs trust, participation and space for real encounters. This is exactly what we offer.

At EduNomads, our students are not just learners, but part of an active, digital school community - with heart, structure and real togetherness.
