Shaping the Future of Learning with Virtual Reality 

ClassVR is delivering measurable improvements in education outcomes across the globe. In El Salvador’s public schools, controlled studies showed a 6.7% increase in knowledge retention and a 23% boost in student motivation, with students 31% more likely to attend classes when VR was used in lessons. These results highlight ClassVR’s ability to reduce dropout rates and make learning more meaningful, particularly in vulnerable communities.  

Beyond academic gains, ClassVR also helps students build resilience and social-emotional skills by providing safe environments to practice coping strategies, develop empathy and explore diverse perspectives. At the same time, Ministries of Education are recognising VR/AR as a powerful tool to prepare students for the future, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, all essential skills in 21st-century economies. 

Virtual reality offers a range of benefits, from boosting knowledge retention and supporting learning outcomes to enhancing classroom engagement. 

Immersive experiences, such as walking on the moon or exploring faraway places, spark curiosity and encourage students to ask questions; helping them build a deeper understanding of their subject. VR can also make abstract ideas feel tangible, from visualising the structure of an atom to exploring the layers of the Earth, transforming challenging concepts into experiences students can understand more easily.  

VR also provides powerful support for SEND learners. It can build confidence by preparing students for real-world scenarios, such as visiting the doctor or using public transport. Virtual safe spaces can also provide a calm environment where students de-escalate heightened emotions and return to learning.  

Every day, more and more schools across the globe are using Virtual Reality within their lessons to make learning more engaging and increase attention and focus within the classroom. VR provides different ways to learn from, immersive environments, hands-on learning, and interactive simulations making complex subjects easy to understand and unforgettable to remember.

At ClassVR we have hundreds of thousands of immersive resources to help teaching across the curriculum. From maths, through to music and humanities, ClassVR’s curriculum-aligned content can be used to drive lesson success. View our content offering here.
