Pandemic Distance Learning

PANDEMIC PROMPTS DISTANCE LEARNING MODEL FOR HERSHEY BOARDERS

Our on-campus learning designs centered around small cohorts of students and availing of as much education in our outdoor environments as possible. However, as our local region faced continued uncertainty our international student body also endured travel challenges and restrictions due to the pandemic.

Connection has always been a key focus area at Hershey, which is why we underwent continual process improvement sessions, touch points, and we made significant investments in technology assets. Our goal was to keep our international students a part of their beloved school community and to be able to offer engaging academics with an interactive experience for our students.

We are grateful for the collaboration and support of our entire Hershey community through these challenging times, and we are proud of our students and their resiliency as they adapted through tremendous change both inside and outside of our beloved community. PARENT TESTIMONIALS
