Comprehensive Learning Platform Available to
Assist Each District Student Whenever Needed
The Woodbury Leadership Academy (WLA) today announced an
exciting partnership with Varsity Tutors for Schools, a Nerdy
(NYSE: NRDY) company and the leading platform for live online
tutoring, to provide all district students with access to the
Varsity Tutors for Schools platform at no cost to the Academy,
students or families. The partnership extends from now until June
30, 2030, ensuring students, educators and parents have a rich set
of academic resources for school years to come.
The comprehensive platform integrates interactive study tools,
collaborative workspaces, and dynamic tutoring resources,
including:
- 24/7 On-Demand Chat Tutoring
- On-Demand Essay Review
- Live Enrichment and Remediation Classes
- SAT and ACT Test Prep Classes
- Celebrity-Led StarCourse Classes
- Self Study Resources
- College & Career Readiness Resources
- Adaptive Assessments & Personalized Learning Plans
- Recorded Enrichment Classes
“Woodbury Leadership Academy is an academically rigorous charter
school with high expectations for student achievement,” said Nick
Rice, 6-9 Principal. “While students are completing our Core
Knowledge curriculum, it is understood that they may bump into
challenges. WLA is partnering with Varsity Tutors to provide
students the assistance they need from high-quality instructors to
tackle advanced curriculum, and students can access this assistance
from home. Students will always want to work directly with their
classroom teachers, but we strongly encourage students to take
advantage of the resources provided by Varsity Tutors for those
times when they are just not able to ask their classroom teacher
for assistance. The 24/7 tutoring service can also work as a bridge
for caregivers; parents and guardians can work with their child at
home and feel confident that they have the support of Varsity
Tutors to help with the most advanced content.”
Over 500 school districts across the country utilize the Varsity
Tutors for Schools platform to supplement classroom learning and to
effectively close learning gaps. When students need help with
homework or are struggling to solve a problem, they can immediately
chat with a tutor, 24/7, to get the help they need. Students can
take practice tests and follow personal lesson plans for guided
self-study. They can also sign up for expert-led live classes, and
learn subjects like Geometry, Middle School Math, Elementary School
Reading and more, alongside their peers.
“Varsity Tutors for Schools delivers a rich set of learning
options to deploy for all students,” said Anthony Salcito, Chief
Institutional Officer at Varsity Tutors for Schools. “Our
comprehensive platform access is now available to all K-12 schools
at no cost, allowing them to budget for targeted intervention with
best-in-class high-dosage tutoring options, including flexible
implementation models that can put administrative staff, teachers,
or parents at the center of the high-dosage tutoring relationship,
depending on the needs of the district.”
WLA families can access the Varsity Tutors for School platform
by visiting the Academy website: https://www.wlamn.org/about-wla/.
The platform is available immediately through June 2030.
