What learning looks like this fall

As expected, many things are different this year, but the students who need our help, support and expertise the most are now back in their classrooms and residence halls. Some students are back part-time. Some are staying home and continuing with remote learning on Zoom.

As expected, many things are different this year, but the students who need our help, support and expertise the most are now back in their classrooms and residence halls. Some students are back part-time. Some are staying home and continuing with remote learning on Zoom. But all are receiving and benefiting from  learning opportunities as needed. And that means students are still interacting with their friends, peers and teachers, and they’re still connected to and part of the Perkins community.

In the photographs below, you’ll see how excited our students are to be back, and how thrilled our teachers are to once again be working with them.  These snapshots highlight a few ways things are different, yes. But most importantly, they show how Perkins is continuing to deliver personalized education to the kids who need it most.
