Been awhile since we have posted much, so busy with all the new changes happening with the Pandemic. Here is an update for the High School Academy- Today we started remote tutoring for your 7 students... each tutor was assigned their students and we used Google Hangouts to do video conferencing and screen sharing. It has worked really well so far! Tomorrow we will utilize the same concept with our Middle and Elementary students, we have 16 total so more of a challenge but mo...st of our curriculum is already online so ready to go for it! Smaller class sizes, individualized instruction, dedicated staff and the ability to make swift changes immediately is why Mr. J’s Academy is a solid choice for your child’s education. Please contact me for more info... we are actively recruiting for very limited spots for next year. [email protected] 310-897-0875
