在信中, CAPTAIN Mark Black, US Navy (Retired), Superintendent of 费什伯恩 Military School noted “we at 费什伯恩 Military School have withstood the test of time. We intend to demonstrate that mettle again throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.”
The school’s reopening plan emphasizes that the campus will be treated as a “restricted, sanctuary environment” throughout the year 和 that the school will implement a hybrid of traditional classroom instruction 和 online, virtual classroom technology. While some assignments 和 instruction will be offered to 学员, “our students will have in-person instruction every day,” explained Black. “Our faculty 和 staff have developed a schedule that employs a symbiotic relationship between actual 和 virtual classrooms that will greatly benefit the Corps of 学员 while maintaining the highest level of safety possible.”
The 费什伯恩 Plan explains that “the greatest strengths of in-person learning stem from the face-to-face contact which enhances the breadth of the lesson. 在人, an instructor can tailor the lesson through a better underst和ing of the students’ comprehension levels . . . online learning is more tailored to a one-size-fits-all model which focuses on key points in the curriculum 和 provides opportunities for reinforcing actual classroom instruction. A strictly online environment, 然而, is not conducive to capturing the nuances of a lesson or underst和ing the dynamics or individual comprehension.”
Students will begin returning to the Waynesboro, VA campus on August 9th with the entire student body expected to return by August 15th. Classes are scheduled to resume on August 18th.
