WGBH To Provide PreK-12 Distance Learning Support For Students In Massachusetts

UPDATE: Access the Distance Learning Center here.

As school districts across the state close in response to the COVID-19 virus, public media outlets WGBH in Boston and WGBY in Springfield are partnering with the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to provide distance learning via broadcast and digital platforms for grades preK-12.

Our aim is to reach as many students and caregivers as possible to support learning outside of a physical classroom at this time. We are still working out the curriculum and scheduling details, and will share more information as we have it. Together with state government, public media is dedicated to serving our communities.
