ThinkGlobal Online School Integrates AI to Monitor Teaching Standards and Lesson Quality

Quality control of teaching here has been handed over to an algorithm. Artificial intelligence reviews lesson recordings and checks two parameters: whether all students were drawn into the discussion, meaning that each of them had a chance to answer, and whether every student was asked a question about their homework. The standard applies to every live lesson.
What exactly artificial intelligence checks in a lesson
The algorithm records what previously depended on the teacher’s own diligence. The first parameter is participation: whether every student gave an answer, not just the three most active ones. The second is homework follow-up: whether each student received a question about the work they had completed. The findings are compiled into a report for the school’s methodology team.
The logic is simple: in a group of up to 12 students in the lower grades and up to 20 in the senior ones, questioning everyone is realistic — it is a matter of keeping the process disciplined. That is why the ThinkGlobal online school has a measurable participation metric that a conventional classroom simply does not produce. The technical basis is in place: lessons in Microsoft Teams are recorded, attendance is logged automatically, and tasks are prepared in advance on an online whiteboard.
The AI assistant on the website and the app for parents
The second layer of technology is turned toward the family. A virtual assistant with an animated avatar works on the website: questions can be typed or spoken, and the reply arrives in a window that looks like a video call. It advises on enrollment, schedules and administrative details.
In July 2026, the school released ThinkGlobal Parent App, a free application for iPhone and Android. In it, a family can see:
- Grades, attendance and test results in real time.
- Detailed reports on the child’s academic progress.
- The account balance, bonus account and the cost of active groups.
- Direct links to the learning platform, Microsoft Teams and the school chat.
Together with the lesson recordings, this gives families something offline schooling rarely offers: not a summary of the day, but the process itself.
Online or offline in the 2026/2027 school year
Distance education remains a reality for a large share of families. According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Education and Science, a network of 25,242 education institutions will operate in the new school year: among schools, 8,424 will teach children on site, 2,211 in a blended format and 1,306 fully online.
Results of the national exams no longer speak automatically in favor of a desk in a physical classroom. According to the Ukrainian Center for Education Quality Assessment (UCEQA), in the 2025 National Multi-subject Test (NMT), ThinkGlobal ranked first by average score among online schools, and in English it entered the top five of all schools in the country. The center will publish the full 2026 NMT report in the fall, so the current ranking of institutions still refers to 2025. Enrollment for the new school year is underway, and the format drawing the most inquiries is the full-day online school, with mathematics, English and Ukrainian at the core of the program.
The formats differ not in quality, but in the number of live lessons and the degree of independence expected from the student.
| Format | Live lessons | Who it suits |
| Full Day Online (grades 1–11) | Up to five a day in grades 1–5, up to six in grades 6–11; mathematics and English daily, Ukrainian daily in primary school | A complete school day at home |
| Second Shift Online (grades 1–11) | Two live lessons every afternoon; focus on mathematics, English and Ukrainian | Sports, music, a different time zone |
| Basic School Online (grades 1–11) | Up to four a week in grades 1–5 and up to eight in grades 6–11, optional | A flexible schedule |
| External Studies Online (grades 1–11) | No live lessons: platform, assessments, mentor | Your own pace, two grades in one year |
The fewer live lessons there are, the more responsibility rests on the child. Every student is supported by a personal mentor who helps them settle in, tracks academic progress, notices a drop in motivation and stays in touch with the parents.
What to ask a school that promises technology
Automation in education wins not through spectacle, but by freeing up time for what matters. When routine checks are handled by an algorithm, the methodology team works with the teacher rather than with an archive of recordings. The question worth asking a school in 2026 is not “do you use artificial intelligence,” but “what exactly does it check, and who reads those reports.”
