Case Study: Laurel Springs School builds connection and belonging in online learning with Class

Building a Sense of Community in Online Learning With Class

Laurel Springs School, a private online K-12 institution, was a pioneer in asynchronous virtual learning but identified a gap in student connection and belonging. To address this, they sought a synchronous learning platform to build community and create meaningful, shared academic moments. They partnered with Class to implement its virtual classroom solution to enrich their program.

By integrating Class, Laurel Springs enabled live, interactive lessons that fostered stronger relationships between students and teachers. The solution provided easy-to-use tools for chat lesson plans to life and significantly increased student engagement. As a result, Class helped the school create a more dynamic and purposeful digital classroom, leading to a more meaningful and connected virtual learning experience for its global student body.
