Laurel Springs School, the accredited, college prep private school offering distance learning programs and teacher services for students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade, hosts a virtual open house on November 11, 2009 at 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time. The focus of the Virtual Open House is 21st Century Learning - What You and Your Child Need to Know.
Laurel Springs School poses the question: How can we help students to be successful in a complex, interconnected, and constantly changing world? Our world is changing rapidly, and so is the world of education. New technologies are affecting how we live our lives and how our children learn. This transforming world, and how to thrive in it, will be discussed at the Virtual Open House on November 11, 2009.
"I can’t wait for the this open house, when we’ll discuss the 21st Century skills our students need to succeed in their careers, in college, and as involved citizens," said Marilyn Mosley Gordanier, founder and executive director of Laurel Spring School.
The Laurel Springs School Virtual Open House will inform families about homeschooling their own students through a distance learning program. Parents will be able to ask questions directly to the staff from the comfort of their own homes with a computer and Internet connection. Mosley Gordanier added, “Our last Virtual Open House was so inspiring. It allowed us to connect with families all over the United States and as far away as Amsterdam, the Dominican Republic, and Hong Kong. It was so exciting to talk about the history of Laurel Springs, our philosophy, learning team, teacher services, college prep program, and the learning styles approach to education – all the elements that make Laurel Springs School so special.”
Laurel Springs School helps families who are looking for an alternative to the traditional classroom setting. Laurel Springs offers online, text-based, project-based, and customized courses for students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
