Virtual 2020-21 School Year
“SAFELY providing opportunities for discovery and reflection”
IMPORTANT 2020-21 ACADEMIC INFORMATION
Watch recording of Zoom Call with Head of School and academic team about virtual reopening.
Bergen Catholic’s decision to start the school year virtually allows teachers time to prepare a robust and intentional online curriculum that delivers a mission-focused educational and social experience for students.
ACADEMIC APPROACH
- Student-centered, robust, synchronous academic programming
- 90-minute classes are dynamic and focused on one discipline with time and flexibility to build student-teacher relationships. Class time will engage students in thought-provoking discussions and involve them in project-based learning and activities.
- Bergen Catholic’s small class size and accessible instructors will continue in distance learning. Each student will be known and valued.
- Help sessions with teachers and predetermined office hours will continue.
- The Student Success Center will remain open for students to seek additional support virtually.
COMMUNITY LIFE
- Programming to engage students in virtual clubs, community service, and social activities.
- Whole-school activities and meetings, including assemblies, speeches, concerts.
- Faculty-led activities shaped around student interest and feedback – social activities, virtual gaming, viewing parties, virtual coffee house.
ADVISORY SYSTEM
- Our advising system will continue to serve as a touchpoint for academic, social, and emotional wellness.
- On Mondays students will have four 40-minute synchronous sessions for each of their four classes. These shorter Monday classes allow students to start each week with a check-in with their teacher in each of their classes and provide an overview of the week ahead.
