As schools around the world respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, learning may look a little different this fall. Remote learning allows students to access educational curriculum outside of the traditional classroom. If you can learn anywhere, why not REMOTE HERE? It’s time to take a Port A schoolcation.
Remote Learning – Island Style gives your kids the opportunity to discover learning in the real world, beyond the four walls of a classroom. Whether you prefer a cozy beach cottage, conventional hotel room, luxury condominium or the privacy of your own beach house, the island offers coastal digs to fit your needs. Not only do most accommodations offer high speed internet to complete your required coursework but Port Aransas is full of educational enrichment opportunities to level up your distance learning!
