In so many essential ways, Gulliver’s operations and functioning were spared the massive disruptions that impacted so many of our South Florida peer . We moved to fully-remote learning on March 13, 2020, and recently reopened our doors to blended learning on September 10, after starting classes remotely on August 20. We were able to maintain the integrity of our academic experience last spring with a lot of hard work and resources, and were able to get hotspots and other assistance to our kids who struggled with internet connectivity issues. We maintained our normal grading system, and did all we could to ensure that student performance in 2019-20 reflected the same rigor and range that would have been reflected in a more normal year. Our students were obviously heavily impacted when it came to SAT and ACT testing, as our area has been widely shut down since March for those tests, and it’s fair to say that the 2020 AP scores were also more varied than we would have expected for some students. Also, naturally, the stress of the pandemic has been immense for everyone involved: students, families, and teachers alike. For every student, there has been impact, often significant. As a whole, however, we have been fortunate thus far, and the transcripts of our seniors reflect an academic experience that is as “normal” as it could have been in such abnormal times.
