The A+nyWhere Learning System (A+LS) is an e-learning program that provides core K-12 curriculum content in subjects like reading, math, science, and social studies delivered online through a course management system. It offers assessment and instructional tools to meet the needs of all students, from remedial to advanced, and can be used for credit recovery, dropout prevention, after school programs, and more.

Union Church of Pocantico Hills was built in the early 1920s by John D. Rockefeller Jr. below the Rockefeller family estate as a testament to the cultural history of the small town of Pocantico Hills, New York. Over the following decades, the church received architectural upgrades including a parish hall addition and stained glass windows designed by famous artists Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall. The church now operates under a board of trustees, hosts regular Sunday services, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 to preserve it for future generations.Recently uploaded (20)
