Case Study: The Independent Schools Foundation Academy builds a structured reading programme with Renaissance Accelerated Reader

The Independent Schools Foundation Academy uses Renaissance to run 3 Star tests a year

The Independent Schools Foundation Academy, a bilingual school in Hong Kong, sought to establish a structured reading program to nurture a love of reading and monitor student comprehension, especially during the challenges of hybrid and online learning. To meet this challenge, the school partnered with Renaissance and implemented its Accelerated Reader and Star Reading solutions.

Renaissance's solutions allowed the academy to create a consistent reading culture where students regularly read books and took AR quizzes to check understanding. The ability to conduct Star Assessments remotely was crucial for screening student progression during online learning. The school uses the detailed skill reports from these assessments to track student growth three times a year and to inform teaching. Additionally, the admission team uses the Star test as an indicator for applicant placement. Renaissance's tools have been integral to the academy's program for over a decade, providing valuable data to support and evidence student learning.
