One of our most innovative student initiatives has been the inception of the Virtual Tutoring Program.

 

This past summer, in collaboration with the Greater GRACE Academic Center in Kisii, Kenya, Waldwick High School's teacher advisor, Ted Opderbeck, and his students developed a virtual tutoring program. Sessions included science experiment ice-breakers, meet & greets, reading with 3rd-5th graders, Swahili lessons, and cultural songs & dance. This tutoring program has since expanded to Waldwick Middle School and continues to occur on a weekly basis throughout the school year! The first of its kind at TEEEM, WHS & the GRACE Project have set the bar for innovative ways to connect communities from over 7,000 miles away. TEEEM was proud to donate $2,000 to the GRACE Project on behalf of Waldwick High School.
