Learning, Connecting, and Thriving Online!

Virtual classes offer the convenience of learning from the comfort of your home. Our virtual teachers provide engaging classes that connect students from around the world. Students get a highly interactive learning experience that caters to their individual needs. Virtual classes are a great option for students who don’t qualify for or live nearby to our in-person program, or students who are sensitive to sensory stimuli. In the virtual space, we have better control over noise levels and can eliminate other distractions that can pose challenges for some students in a traditional classroom setting.
