A year ago, I anticipated massive changes in education. I forewarned of the need then to focus on daily structure and accountability. How true these words were! But who among us knew that online learning would be such a prolonged endeavor?
A year later, we know that online schooling failed many of our children. Our schools tried, but teachers were often ill-equipped to reach reluctant learners remotely. In frustration, even our enthusiastic students tired of overused learning platforms, repetitious lessons, screen time, and self-study.
With in-class instruction finally resuming for many students, hopefully a more normal summer and fall will follow. Many children, though, will have learning gaps because of compromised instruction during the pandemic. The transition in the fall may be more challenging than usual.
On Monday, May 3, I will release summer and fall enrollment forms here. Historically, enrollment for academic coaching, tutoring, and test prep has filled very quickly. Students of returning families and those who have ridden my waitlist this past year will enjoy a three-day priority window. New students, however, should still act quickly, as slots will otherwise be awarded based on the time and date of the receipt of your enrollment form(s).
I am grateful for your interest and support.
