Beyond Brick and Mortar: Laurel Springs School on Personalization, Flexibility, and Community-Building in Virtual Learning

In The Learning Accelerator's new podcast series, Beyond Brick and Mortar, hear from leaders of established virtual and hybrid learning programs from across the U.S. about what makes their programs a success – and what they had to learn along the way.

In this first episode, we chat with Megan Palevich, former Head of School at Laurel Springs School about their fully virtual K-12 program that emphasizes personalization and one-to-one work between students and teachers, flexible schedules to accommodate learners whose schedules or needs don't align with traditional seat-time requirements, and a strong community among staff, students, and families.

Correction & Note: In this episode, we refer to Megan Palevich as the Head of School at Laurel Springs School. This interview was conducted when Megan Palevich filled the role of Head of School, although as of early 2023, the current Head of School is Aileen Hawkins.
