Important Update on Campus Closure and our Distance Learning Program

We have continued to gather data from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of General Education, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other sources. At this point, there is no indication that schools in Zambia will be re-opened soon. We have also received feedback from parents, students, and teachers that the lack of certainty around reopening our campus has increased their stress. We would all prefer to return to campus and resume some sense of normal school; however, based on the information we have, that does not seem likely in the near term. With only six weeks left in our academic year, the Board of Directors has made the decision to continue our distance learning program through 10 June. 
 
If the Ministry of Health allows schools to reopen before 10 June,  we will consider reopening our campus on a limited basis in order to support our students as they complete their studies for the year via the distance learning program. As you know, the risks of reopening a school campus are not fully known in the context of COVID-19. As such, any reopening will have to be slowly phased in as we take measures to ensure our first priority: the health and safety of our students and staff members.

We appreciate your patience as we navigate this uncharted territory together.
