Guess Who’s Back?

-February 2022-

After 695 days of virtual learning, our students are back on campus! To see the classrooms filled, to hear the halls echoing with laughter, and to witness the friendships blossoming again is truly a blessing.

The Center’s teachers were exceptional during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there was no plan for learning-at-a-distance, the Educational Team improvised to ensure that their students would continue with their education no matter what. At first, Facebook and WhatsApp were used as the main platforms, but, after some time, Zoom came along and changed the game for the Center teachers. For families that did not have access to internet or a computer/smartphone, teachers would print out worksheets and create activities that the parents would pick up at the beginning of one week and drop it off the next.

“I AM SO EXCITED!” “It’s great to be back with all my friends!”


 “It’s incredible to see my students’ faces again, even if they are behind masks.”


 “We get to play!” “I didn’t realize how much I missed it here.”

“I know my teachers tried their best, but in-person classes are so much better.”

With doors opening at 6:40AM, there’s just enough time to get to the first class of the day. The school day will end at 1PM for all our students, and, for the time being, there will be no extracurricular classes and activities as to ensure everyone's health and safety.

The Center students - from kindergarten through high school - were ecstatic to come back to in-person classes. For almost two years, students were learning by any means necessary all whilst stuck at home. We know that many of them will need extra support - both academically and emotionally - and the school psychologists, faculty, and staff are ready to support their needs!
