SOS4Students Summer Workshops: Online or In-Person — It’s Your Choice!
If you’re looking for new strategies and new ways to prepare your student for the next school year, this summer SOS4Students provides you with options.
For the first time ever, we are offering online versions of our popular summer workshops.
Delivered via Zoom by SOS4Students senior coaches using multiple platforms including Google Classroom, Peardeck, and Evernote, students learn the same skills and strategies of our in-person workshops from the comfort of their own homes or a vacation getaways. All they need is access to the internet and a computer with a camera and microphone.
The first of our virtual programs begin in July, which you can now sign-up for online:
- Mastering Middle School (Online) for students entering grade 6

Online or In-Person, Which Format Is Best For Your Student?
It’s really up to you! Some families and students are eager to return to small group classroom settings with peers, while other families prefer (or need) to stick with virtual summer programs this year. Whatever your choice, we get it . . . and we’ve got you covered.
For most students, our online programs are as equally effective as our in-person workshops. Ultimately, parents and caregivers know their students best, so we leave it to you to decide how you’ll be joining us this summer. Whichever way you chose, we look forward to working with your student! We’ve had the opportunity over these past few months to see clearly what works to keep students at home stay connected and get excited about online courses.
