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.

What are the advantages of using virtual reality in primary education?
Virtual Reality (VR) can bring several benefits to primary 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.
