WOODBURY, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Woodbury Leadership Academy (WLA) today announced an exciting partnership with Varsity Tutors for Schools, a Nerdy (NYSE: NRDY) company and the leading platform for live online tutoring, to provide all district students with access to the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform at no cost to the Academy, students or families. The partnership extends from now until June 30, 2030, ensuring students, educators and parents have a rich set of academic resources for school years to come.
The comprehensive platform integrates interactive study tools, collaborative workspaces, and dynamic tutoring resources, including:

“Woodbury Leadership Academy is an academically rigorous charter school with high expectations for student achievement,” said Nick Rice, 6-9 Principal. “While students are completing our Core Knowledge curriculum, it is understood that they may bump into challenges. WLA is partnering with Varsity Tutors to provide students the assistance they need from high-quality instructors to tackle advanced curriculum, and students can access this assistance from home. Students will always want to work directly with their classroom teachers, but we strongly encourage students to take advantage of the resources provided by Varsity Tutors for those times when they are just not able to ask their classroom teacher for assistance. The 24/7 tutoring service can also work as a bridge for caregivers; parents and guardians can work with their child at home and feel confident that they have the support of Varsity Tutors to help with the most advanced content.”
Over 500 school districts across the country utilize the Varsity Tutors for Schools platform to supplement classroom learning and to effectively close learning gaps. When students need help with homework or are struggling to solve a problem, they can immediately chat with a tutor, 24/7, to get the help they need. Students can take practice tests and follow personal lesson plans for guided self-study. They can also sign up for expert-led live classes, and learn subjects like Geometry, Middle School Math, Elementary School Reading and more, alongside their peers.
“Varsity Tutors for Schools delivers a rich set of learning options to deploy for all students,” said Anthony Salcito, Chief Institutional Officer at Varsity Tutors for Schools. “Our comprehensive platform access is now available to all K-12 schools at no cost, allowing them to budget for targeted intervention with best-in-class high-dosage tutoring options, including flexible implementation models that can put administrative staff, teachers, or parents at the center of the high-dosage tutoring relationship, depending on the needs of the district.”
WLA families can access the Varsity Tutors for School platform by visiting the Academy website: https://www.wlamn.org/about-wla/. The platform is available immediately through June 2030.
