Your Virtual iCode School Tour

Take a virtual tour through our alternative schooling studios for an in-depth understanding of our social setting, and learning environment. Effectively teaching a child social skills is dependant on the school's culture and the peers around them.

Why Social Skills Matter
In an increasingly digital society, the ability to communicate effectively, collaborate with others, navigate social situations, and be heard and understood is just as important as academic knowledge and skills. Social and emotional skills form the foundation of meaningful relationships, personal well-being and a feeling of connectedness. As parents, we need to recognise the increasing challenges that our children and young people with additional needs have when developing these skills. Finding a safe and supportive environment in which to grow and practice these skills is essential in 2024.
Whether you’re attending a mainstream school and want supporting tuition, or whether you’re on the journey of an alternative pathway such as homeschooling, iCode can help student’s progress socially and in wellbeing.

Alternative schooling for children & a social skills course that works.

Dungeons & Dragons Group
Alternative learning starts with Dungeons & Dragons classes. D&D provides a fun, screen-free environment where kids can develop essential social skills, teamwork, and problem-solving through interactive role-playing. The game encourages creativity, critical thinking, and communication, as kids navigate challenges and collaborate with their peers. With weekly sessions and the option for in-person or online participation, it's a great way for children to build confidence while making new friends. A free trial is available for parents to see if it's a good fit for their child and an addition to school systems and mainstream education.

Brick Buddies Lego Club
Brick Buddies Lego Club is one of our alternative programs. We teach with Lego play to help children develop social skills in a structured, supportive environment. Through collaboration and specific team roles (engineer, supplier, builder), kids learn to communicate, work together, and follow clear rules while building Lego models. The program promotes patience, empathy, and teamwork, making it ideal for kids who struggle with social interactions. The hands-on activities encourage creativity and fun, and a free trial class is available to see if it's a good fit for your child.

iCode’s Approach To Alternative Schooling
Our Social Skills Programs are tailored to support children of all ages in developing key competencies, such as:
- Effective Communication: We teach children how to express themselves clearly and confidently, both verbally and non-verbally. This includes active listening, understanding body language, and practicing empathy and turn taking in conversations.
- Collaboration and Teamwork: Through group activities and projects, children learn the value of working together, respecting others’ perspectives, and achieving common goals. We are able to share group success and work through challenges and help recognise these both of these in ourselves and in others.
- Conflict Resolution: With fun and adventure, we experiment, model and demonstrate with children and young people strategies to resolve disagreements constructively, fostering a sense of respect and understanding in their interactions.
- Emotional Intelligence: Understanding and managing emotions is crucial for personal growth. Our programs help children recognise their own feelings and those of others, promoting self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Facilitated Learning
We are able to facilitate learning through a range of social programs, including
- Interactive Workshops: Our workshops are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing children to practice social skills in real-life scenarios. Through role-playing, group discussions, and fun activities, they learn by doing.
- Inclusive Environment: We create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued and understood. Our programs are adaptable to meet the needs of children with all levels of social skill levels, ensuring everyone’s needs are met and recognised.
- Expert Guidance: Our team of experienced educators and coaches are dedicated to helping children build confidence in their social interactions. They provide personalised feedback and encouragement, helping each child progress at their own pace.
Our Social Skills Programs are designed to empower children with the tools they need to build positive relationships, handle challenges and succeed in all areas of life. We ensure our learning experiences are fun, safe, and supported.
