Participating students will explore careers and boost their skills in a safe online setting<\/i><\/p>\n

HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSchool may be almost out for summer, but that doesn\u2019t mean learning should stop. To engage students over the summer and give them a head start on career planning, Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) is offering a variety of free Stride K12 Virtual Summer Camps and Courses<\/a> to students in grades 6-12, in a broad range of topics including career exploration, math, entrepreneurship, theatre, music, computer coding, and nursing.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAfter a school year unlike any other, the time is right for students to begin preparing for a brighter future,\u201d said Dr. Shaun McAlmont, President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride. \u201cWhether families are maintaining their social distance or looking to take learning on the road this summer, Stride\u2019s K12 programs will help keep learning going as students connect, create, and realize their full potential.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to a recent study<\/a>, 65% of U.S. parents are looking for summer opportunities to help their students make up for deficits caused by lost classroom time amid the pandemic. And when it comes to exploring career options, the majority of high school students and their families are ready to start before<\/i> graduation day, and they\u2019re interested in doing so online: more than half<\/a> of parents say that they and their children are likely to choose a schooling option with an online career learning offering.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Stride K12 Summer Camps bring this opportunity to students before the next school year gets underway, from anywhere with an internet connection.\n<\/p>\n

\nFrom June through August, the free Stride K12 Virtual Summer Camps and Courses will help meet the interests and schedules of middle and high schoolers nationwide. Participating students will have the chance to connect with a diverse range of industry experts, build essential skills, and find new opportunities to expand their horizons as they head into the new school year and beyond:\n<\/p>\n
