VGI Lisbon Learning Pod

A supportive, structured, in-person extension of online learning.

The VGI Lisbon Learning Pod provides a welcoming, collaborative space where students can learn, socialize, and grow together. Designed for online learners and homeschool families, our pod gives students access to peer interaction, academic support, enrichment activities, and real-world experiences: all in a safe, encouraging environment.

  • A learning pod is a small, consistent group of students who meet in person for shared learning, activities, and community. At VICTOR Global Institute, pods support:

    ✔ Social interaction & friendship building

    Students meet peers regularly, work together, and build confidence through shared experiences.

    ✔ Safe, supportive learning spaces

    Pods provide stability and routine for students who learn online at home.

    ✔ Teacher-guided activities & collaboration

    Students participate in hands-on learning, team challenges, clubs, and projects.

    ✔ Parent community & support

    Parents connect, share resources, coordinate events, and feel part of a village.

    ✔ Enrichment beyond academics

    Field trips, workshops, sports, arts, and social meetups keep learning fun and well-rounded.

  • Yes! Your child can be enrolled in any online school or we can help recommend one that is a fit for your child.

    Majority of the VGI Lisbon Pod students are enrolled in AEON Prep. This is an online accredited school that grants members of this pod a discounted rate when enrolled.

    Contact us for more information! We can walk you through how to qualify for this rate.

  • The Lisbon Pod is our flagship location, with plans to expand to additional cities as interest grows. Contact us to learn more!

  • Students have enjoyed field trips to the zoo, opera performances, museums, or just having fun in the park!

    The students enjoy a variety of activities each month. This offers them a chance to learn new topics and connect socially.
