As parents, we all want our children to excel academically while maintaining a healthy state of mind. We often emphasize good grades as the primary indicator of success. However, true academic achievement naturally follows when a child is genuinely interested in a subject. When interest wanes, good grades can come at the expense of excessive effort and mental health.
When children are curious and engaged, learning becomes a joyful experience rather than a chore. They absorb information more readily, participate actively in class, and are more likely to explore topics beyond the classroom. Conversely, without interest, students may feel overwhelmed, leading to stress and a negative attitude toward education.
In today’s fast-paced world, children face numerous factors that can negatively impact their mental health—constant pressure, high competition, and information overload. The educational process shouldn’t add to this stress. Instead, it should be a source of inspiration and growth.
While schools play a crucial role in education, parents are equally important in nurturing their child’s love for learning. It starts with careful school selection to ensure the environment aligns with your child’s needs. We discussed how to choose the right school in our previous article on transforming education through VR classroom learning.
By actively engaging in your child’s education, you can help them find joy in learning. Encourage them to ask questions, explore new topics, and pursue their interests. This involvement not only strengthens your relationship but also promotes mental well-being.
Take natural sciences, for example. Young children are naturally curious about the world—they love asking “why” and “how.” However, as they reach high school, science topics become more abstract and intangible, like elementary particles or intracellular processes. The increased complexity can lead to a decline in interest.
This isn’t just speculation; studies have shown a significant drop in enthusiasm for STEM subjects as students age. Virtual reality (VR) in education offers a solution to reignite that spark. By making learning immersive and interactive, virtual reality education brings abstract concepts to life.
By integrating virtual reality in education, we can reduce the stress associated with difficult subjects. When learning is enjoyable, students are less likely to experience anxiety over grades. Instead, they develop a genuine understanding and appreciation for the material.
VR in the classroom also supports different learning styles, making education more inclusive. Whether your child is a visual learner or benefits from hands-on experiences, VR educational tools cater to their needs.
At XReady Lab, we specialize in creating VR learning platforms that make education exciting and meaningful. Our virtual reality classrooms are designed to align with curriculum standards, ensuring educational goals are met while keeping students engaged.

We start with consultation: our team helps plan the VR classroom for your school. You need internet access and a suitable room — allocate about 5 x 5 feet (1.5 x 1.5 m) per student. One headset per two students works well.
Devices and licenses: schools can use existing Meta Quest or Pico devices and purchase licenses, or we can offer discounted devices or a turnkey solution with pre-installed content.
After purchase, we guide device setup and content installation and provide teacher training.
Teachers learn how to run VR lessons using Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks, manage screen casting and paired learning, and keep students engaged.
Ongoing support is always available.
VR lessons typically last 5–15 minutes, depending on the simulation, with a recommended class size of up to 20 students. Screen casting is supported and compatible with selected teacher management systems, allowing teachers to launch simulations remotely, monitor progress, and view all devices during lessons.
Teachers are supported with Lesson Plans and Engagement Playbooks that include learning objectives, step-by-step lesson flow, classroom scenarios, reflection questions, practical assignments, and assessment guidance.
XReady Lab is available worldwide and supports 75+ languages. Today, it is used by 800+ schools and 150,000+ students across the globe.
XReady Lab simulations are offered through flexible licensing packages, depending on the format and subjects you need:
If you already have VR headsets, you only purchase licenses. If not, we can also help you choose the most cost-effective setup and licensing model for your school or family.
XReady Lab works with the most widely used standalone VR headsets in schools:
All supported devices are standalone (no PC required), making them easy to deploy and manage in a school environment.
Yes. XReady Lab supports open ecosystems, not closed platforms. Schools can freely use third-party VR content alongside XReady Lab on Meta Quest and PICO headsets.
We encourage schools to diversify their VR classrooms with high-quality educational apps and can recommend tested solutions, helping expand learning beyond STEM into subjects like design, history, environmental studies, and soft skills.
XReady Lab follows school VR safety best practices. VR is recommended for students 10–12+, with short 5–15 minute sessions and seated or safe-zone use under teacher supervision, supported by screen casting.
First-time users adapt gradually. Students with medical conditions require parental and school approval, and hygiene is ensured through regular headset cleaning and replaceable face covers.
Families can access XReady Lab simulations at home in two ways:
