Beginning in 7th grade, Laurel Springs offers its students and families the opportunity to collaborate and make friends within a secure social network environment. Within this private social network, students may:
Participate in online clubs and find new friends
Pair up with study buddies
Post blog updates regarding their portfolio coursework and share their creative expressions
This private social network is a wonderful way for students to form lasting friendships based on mutual interests and respect that spans state and national boundaries. Students share their thoughts, feelings, and creativity through blogs, forums, and discussion threads. The social network is a valuable tool that creates empathy, compassion, and understanding, as well as promotes academic collaboration.
