Click here for more information

Laurel Springs has been helping families find the right fit for their children since 1991. Megan Palevich, Head of School, acknowledges the school’s focus and commitment to personalizing your child’s experience, “Over the last 25 years, many things have changed, but the one thing that has remained the same is Laurel Springs’ dedication to providing a personalized, flexible learning environment to meet each child’s unique interests, talents, and learning style – no matter their location or circumstances.”

The key to setting your child up for success is working with a trusted partner to ensure a seamless academic transition. The following recommendations are tried and true lessons from families who have successfully made the switch to Laurel Springs School for their child’s academic program.

  1. Ensure Proper Course Placement
    For full-time enrollments, Laurel Springs’ certified counselors help students achieve academic success by reviewing each student’s academic plan, ensuring their courses align with their learning goals, providing resources to improve their learning experience, and helping with career exploration and development.
  2. Know Your Role as a Parent
    The role of the parent, is to provide organization and structure, to help create a proper learning environment, and to promote continuity in the learning process. Parents also act as learning companions, facilitators, and advocates for their child. They help build and sustain a positive relationship with the school, and work closely with teachers to ensure a successful learning experience. See more about how your role changes as your child grows with Laurel Springs School.
  3. Understand the Benefits of an Asynchronous Learning Model
    Laurel Springs delivers instruction through asynchronous courses, meaning students may access their lessons at any time. This eliminates scheduling conflicts and gives your child the flexibility to pursue other interests. Bringing together personalization, flexibility, passionate teachers, and collaborative support, this learning philosophy honors the talents and interests of all students, ensuring they experience a high-quality college preparatory education.
  4. Engaging Students
    Establishing a relationship between the student and teacher is integral to the educational experience, and can make the difference between a student who is engaged and one who is disconnected. Recognizing students’ interests and goals and applying them to lesson plans shows students that their teacher values them as members of the school community. Offering students a choice between multiple assignments gives them a sense of control, and a more engaged experience of learning.
  5. Making Connections
    Laurel Springs is committed to the development of student engagement and socialization. Laurel Springs offers live, monthly symposia, Meetings with Remarkable Men and Women, where students engage with leaders in their fields and hear their inspiring stories. Laurel Springs also offers more than 30 clubs for students to explore and discover their passions. These clubs offer a relaxed, enjoyable experience, led by a faculty or staff member who shares the students’ passion for the topic. Shared interests coupled with respectful, engaging social opportunities deepen relationships and provide students with the opportunity to collaborate. In addition to these opportunities for student interaction, we provide more than 100 live, teacher-guided iClasses to promote academic social engagement.
