The correct answer is True.
Explanation:
When other words, such as phrases or clauses, come between the subject and verb in a sentence, it is important to make sure that the subject and verb still agree in terms of singular or plural form. In the given example, the subject is "students" and the verb is "are." Even though the phrase "as well as their teacher" is between them, the subject "students" is still plural, so the verb "are" is in agreement with it. Therefore, the sentence is grammatically correct.
