ECHO Virtual STEM Academy is educational support to meet family and community needs with high-quality, at-home learning. Classes are standards-aligned, one-day-per-week, 6-week learning sequences for K/1st, 2nd/3rd, and 4th/5th grade students. The program is designed to support students enrolled in hybrid school programs/homeschoolers/at-home learning pods. Classes include a live science lesson in the morning (recording available immediately afterwards); at-home lesson plans; and facilitated small group sessions in the afternoon.
To promote access, the program is purposefully low-cost (the full 6-week sessions are $30 for ECHO members and $45 for non-members). First session starts the week of September 21. Learn more about it here: https://www.echovermont.org/events-programs/echo-virtual-stem-academy/
