Stride, Inc. Has the Summer Covered With Free Online Enrichment Camps and CoursesSchool may be almost out for summer, but that doesn't 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 to students in grades 6-12, in a broad range of topics including career exploration, math, entrepreneurship, theatre, music, computer coding, and nursing. "After a school year unlike any other, the time is right for students to begin preparing for a brighter future," said Dr. Shaun McAlmont, President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride. "Whether families are maintaining their social distance or looking to take learning on the road this summer, Stride's K12 programs will help keep learning going as students connect, create, and realize their full potential." According to a recent study, 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 graduation day, and they're interested in doing so online: more than half of parents say that they and their children are likely to choose a schooling option with an online career learning offering. The Stride K12 Summer Camps bring this opportunity to students before the next school year gets underway, from anywhere with an internet connection. From 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.
