Indiana school campuses are closed through May 1, 2020, so students across the state are experiencing their school’s interpretation of e-learning. Word among University High School of Indiana students and parents is that their public school peers are dissatisfied and disengaged with asynchronous forms of e-learning. In our communication to current families, prospective families, and alumni, we offer short, sharable stories of how synchronous e-learning keeps students fully engaged with teachers and mentors. We’re showcasing the agility of our school to adapt and how this means students are getting meaningful instruction and assessment now. This semester won’t be like others, but it won’t be a lost semester for University students.
