We’re excited to welcome Barrie School as a new World of Learning partner!

For the first time this school year, Barrie students are learning with WOL through our live, virtual World Language classes.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together, expand language learning opportunities, and connect even more students with great teachers.

Welcome to WOL, Barrie School!

Take a look inside Exploratory World Languages: Voice is Power.

From the homepage, students can access their live Zoom room, recordings, seminars, grades, and resources as they explore 8 different languages and cultures throughout the course.

Along the way, they discover how language gives people a voice — sometimes spoken, sometimes signed — and experience the people, places, and stories behind each language.

One course. Eight languages. So much to explore. 🌎

Meet Olivia Grugan, WOL Supervisor!

Olivia knows WOL from just about every angle—she’s served as a teacher, Virtual Learning Specialist, and now Supervisor, helping our teachers, students, facilitators, and district partners succeed.

And it probably won’t surprise you that she loves languages herself! Olivia speaks English, Spanish, German, and Arabic.

We’re grateful to have her leading, supporting, and continuing to grow the World of Learning!

What does high-quality virtual learning actually look like?

It’s more than logging into a platform. It’s live teachers, clear routines, personalized feedback, strong district partnerships, and real people supporting students along the way.

Our latest blog takes you inside the WOL experience and shares what districts should look for in a virtual learning partner.

Happy National Online Learning Day!

For us, online learning has never been just about technology. It’s about giving students access to real teachers, real relationships, and courses they might not otherwise have.

Any course. Anyone. Anywhere.
