Distance Learning
Learning apart yet together. The strength of our School lies in our commitment to the community. We live and learn here together. It’s what makes us tick. COVID-19 challenged us to find new ways to learn together while keeping our community spirit alive. The challenges of this way of learning are real, and we are continually evaluating all aspects of our distance teaching and learning, so that while you may be learning from a distance, your friendships, classrooms, and clubs are just a keystroke away.
Parents and guardians play a vital role in the success of each student. St. Paul’s School understands that a shift to distance learning requires students and families to make adjustments, and the School will be there with support every step of the way. We are all in this together!

"Since the first week of this process, I have known everything that is happening with my advisee group. I just love that network of being able to talk about your week, or your adviser giving you advice – I love that community."

Isabel, Texas
"I've found that I have more time to explore things I usually wouldn't. Right now I'm working on my capstone for Humanities, and I've been watching different movies or reading sources that relate, and I'm interested in it. I have the freedom to look at those things."

Rishi, Massachusetts
"In general, the approach to online learning is helping students realize that there's more to learn outside of the classroom – whether that be with SPS students and SPS teachers, or outside of SPS. There's so much material out there, that even sitting at home, it's really amazing that we can learn so much from courses that otherwise we wouldn't be able to sit in on."

Jessica, New Jersey
"Being able to see my friends and dance virtually has been really encouraging, and it has pushed me and motivated me to get through this experience."
