As local school districts move learning fully or partially online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Malvern School is supporting families with its new Malvern Virtual Partnership (MVP) Program designed to help children from kindergarten through fourth grade navigate virtual learning during the 2020-2021 school year. The MVP offering is a full day program led by qualified, credentialed teachers in a small group environment on site at select Malvern School locations. The program is customized to guide children through their school district’s hybrid or full-time virtual curriculum while also enabling children to socialize and participate in physical activities with precautionary health and wellness measures in place. “Many families with school-aged children are facing the very difficult challenge of balancing school, work and childcare, all in the midst of a global pandemic. They need support now more than ever, which is why we have stepped in to deliver a program focused on setting children and their parents up for success,” says Christle Seal, Director of Educational Programs at The Malvern School. “The MVP Program is a natural extension of our proven model for high-quality early childhood education. By adapting our approach to meet the needs of elementary school students learning online, we look forward to helping more children thrive.” In addition to dividing children into small groups with low student-to-teacher ratios, The Malvern School has modified its operating procedures and enhanced its
health policy to take precautions against COVID-19 and provide an appropriate environment for children, teachers and staff. These measures include modified drop-off and pick-up procedures, health screening, the use of face masks, frequent handwashing and meal time precautions. Enrollment is now open for The Malvern School’s MVP Program at select locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
