How to monitor 20+ xubuntu computers with vnc

So I'm trying to setup a classroom network that allows all the kids to access the server using xubuntu as a thin client. I have the whole thing setup, however I now need to view all of them on a single computer running Ubuntu 16.04 so I can monitor classroom activity and help with certain assignments if need be. I can't find anything that would do this for me, so I'm thinking that i could run all of them throught vnc or rdp on a single computer. Is there any software or suggestions that anyone can think of to let me view 20+ computers? If I have to separate the viewing to more computers I can.

I think VNC will not be practical. Maybe xrdp ? But really, you are looking for a specialized tool for classrooms : VEYON is a FOSS for Linux/Windows, maybe that's something to try. There is also Mythware and iTALC was the answer to this question on Unix StackExchange.

You may want to try Epoptes.
It usually works together with LTSP, but you can try to setup it for you needs, I hope.
Epoptes scalability is great, I monitored >40 machines with it.
