A Pitch for FPA and Homeschooling
From the print edition of The New American:
Dr. Duke Pesta, academic director of FreedomProject Academy, was interviewed by The New American about what parents and families are seeing from schools in response to the coronavirus, and what long-term lessons can be gleaned from what they are seeing.
The New American: How has FreedomProject Academy been dealing with coronavirus?
Dr. Duke Pesta: Other than the societal macro-stresses that the virus inflicts on all of us — including the frustration of watching constitutionally protected rights and liberties stripped away by state and federal bureaucracies — we continue to provide live, online classes with actual teachers for our students across America and a dozen foreign countries. Our FPA students are in class every day in the safety of their own homes, receiving a strong classical education rooted in Judeo-Christian values. Technology helps us to create a virtual classroom environment that allows students to interact with their teachers and peers. For FPA, it is business as usual, and our students have not missed a single day of classes because of COVID-19. As a distance-learning school, we are also considered “essential personnel” by all 50 states, a recognition that we can continue to educate during the pandemic.
