Collaborative Experiences
Bring complex ideas to life by letting students see and experience them up close in the palm of their hand.
Immersive experiences can turn a single lesson into a shared adventure, where students explore environments together, spark discussion, and build understanding as a group.
These experiences encourage teamwork, communication, and peer learning, which are skills that are essential both inside and outside the classroom.
Independent Exploration
ClassVR provides opportunities for students to learn at their own pace. Whether exploring a historical event or examining a scientific 3D model of a heart, self-directed journeys build confidence, foster independence, and help students take ownership of their learning, all while giving teachers the tools to guide, monitor, and manage the experience.
Emotional Regulation
VR can support middle schoolers’ social and emotional growth, a critical skill at this age as students navigate increasing independence and social pressures.
Calming environments and mindfulness activities help students reset, reduce stress, and re-focus when needed, giving them tools to manage emotions effectively and stay engaged when learning.

How do we control VR screen time?
We recommend that VR sessions last no longer than 15 minutes across a lesson. Short sessions are highly engaging and work best to introduce a topic or reinforce key learning points.
The ClassVR Portal includes a waiting room feature, which teachers can use to notify students when it’s time to remove their headsets. This helps teachers manage usage easily and keep lessons on track.
How is virtual reality used in schools?
Virtual Reality is used in schools to make lessons more immersive, engaging, and memorable for students.
Here are some common ways teachers are using ClassVR in the classroom:
- Virtual field trips – transport students anywhere in the world, from the middle of the jungle to the surface of the moon, all without leaving the classroom.
- Career training and vocational development – help older learners prepare for the workforce with interactive simulations designed to build skills and confidence.
- SEND support – create safe and engaging environments for students with special educational needs, offering opportunities to practice essential life skills and overcome challenges.
What are the advantages of using virtual reality in Middle Schools?
Virtual Reality (VR) can bring several benefits to Elementary education, especially when used thoughtfully to complement, not replace, traditional teaching. Here are the key advantages:
- Boost in Knowledge Retention – students remember more of what they see than what they read. Make every lesson memorable with ClassVR.
- Enhance Student Engagement – Instead of just reading or listening, children can experience concepts like walking through a rainforest, exploring the solar system, or diving into the ocean. Help make abstract or complex topics easier to understand.
- Support for Special Educational Needs – ClassVR offer immersive content to support students, offering multi-sensory, distraction-free environments. Helps children with autism, ADHD, or dyslexia engage at their own pace.
