COVID-19
Just like the whole rest of the world, COVID-19 forced the closing of the Greenhouse in March…we will finish the rest of the school year in a hybrid teacher instructed homeschooling. Lots of one-on-one instruction going on! Some of our staff and students returned to their passport countries – so we are especially thankful forContinue reading “COVID-19”
