This past year has stretched and challenged many caregivers, students, and teachers to approach learning differently. Although here at PacPrep, we have been doing online learning for many years, the idea of virtual learning was a new concept for many.

Families are now challenging the status quo and determining if virtual or hybrid models will help their child thrive academically.

Here are our recommendations of things you can do as a parent to introduce your child to AAPI heritage.
