During the pandemic, research linked learning loss to virtual learning. However, College Park Academy has a different story. In this webinar, you’ll hear from Sandy Abu-Arja, Ed.D., Executive Director of College Park Academy (CPA), Steven Baker, Principal at College Park Academy, and Alyssa Walters, Ph.D., Director of Efficacy and Research at Pearson Virtual Schools, as they discuss why CPA’s students continue to thrive, consistently out-perform peers on state tests, achieve high graduation rates, and earn millions in scholarships and entry into some of the nation’s leading colleges and universities.

We will reveal recent data that contradicts the learning loss myth with virtual schools and proves virtual students outperformed the national test scores during the pandemic.

Plus, we’ll share:

  • How you can support learning gains in your district’s virtual students whether you have an established virtual program or are just beginning to think about launching a new program.
  • A first-hand account from Dr. Abu-Arja on how her virtual students performed during the pandemic.
  • Why a virtual learning model contributes to better learning outcomes.
