Summer Classes & Academic Enrichment
With school shutdowns, students have missed crucial learning opportunities.
"Summer loss" (skills and content learning lost over summer vacation) is now six months, not three, and, worse, schools will have to compact next year's curriculum in order to make up for lost skills and content from the Spring 2020 semester.
We always encourage summer enrichment, but now it is essential.
Having started virtual learning in 2012, School4Schools.com LLC is a pioneer in online learning. We understand both the extents and limits of videoconference, remote learning, especially in class settings.
By employing the same philosophy of articulation and accountability we use in our monthly academic coaching and mentoring service, we build student relevancy, ownership and success.
