     “This is a way for students to connect,” said Mrs. Rodriguez, head of the Virtual Saints program, “We are essentially putting them on the academic path to get ahead!”

     Virtual Saints was created during the beginning of the Covid pandemic as a way to keep students engaged and connected. Since its creation, the program has really taken off  and has enrolled over 100 students from St Andrew’s as well as students from other parts of the US.

     Especially for St. Andrews students, these classes could offer benefits. If you are currently enrolled in St. Andrew’s your grade in this class will be calculated into your GPA.

     The Virtual Saints courses are designed to be both informative and entertaining with specialized courses for personalized learning.

     When applying for summer courses, it is important to consider the commitment to the online course. It is recommended that students allot around 5-6 hours of uninterrupted time for each course per day.
