COLUMBIA, Md., April 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pearson
Online Academy, a U.S.-based accredited virtual private school, has
opened enrollment to K-12 students across the country and abroad
for their 2021 online summer school. Families are invited to
register for the fully online program where students can choose
from more than 100 core, elective, and NCAA-eligible courses, with
rolling start dates beginning June 1 through
July 2, 2021.
"We know that parents are more concerned this year about
learning loss due to school disruptions caused by the pandemic.
Online summer school is a convenient and flexible way to give
students the boost they need and make up any lost ground. For more
than a decade, our program has helped students pursue credit
recovery, enrichment opportunities or graduate early," said
Hannah Rinehart, director of Pearson
Online Academy. "Our online school program is designed specifically
for the virtual environment. Beyond our engaging curriculum and
technology platform, individual attention and one-on-one support
from our teachers is a defining factor in our students'
success."
Summer school enrollment opens on the heels of a new opinion
poll released by Pearson that found parents see a future with
online education in an increasingly digital world. The 2021 Parent
Pulse Report, released in March, found that 60 percent of families
will consider staying with online school even after the pandemic
has ended and 76 percent of parents who took a more active role in
their child's online education over the past year found the
experience "gratifying."
Students who enroll in summer school online with Pearson Online
Academy will work with experienced teachers specially trained to
teach in the online environment, utilize an easy-to-use learning
portal, and have the flexibility to pursue academic excellence
while accommodating busy summer schedules.
Pearson Online Academy's summer school course options
include:
- Summer Smarts Math and Reading Programs gives kindergarten
through eighth grade students a chance to review foundational
skills and keep sharp for the new school year.
- Elementary and Middle School Courses offer younger students an
opportunity to learn English or Math core concepts, to learn a new
language, or begin exploring career interests.
- Original Credit Courses encourage high school students to

- High School Credit Recovery Courses ensure students earn the
credits to move forward and acquire the skills to succeed.
- High School Honors Courses and Advanced Placement Courses in
