Connections Academy - An Online K-12 School

Connecting kids with their potential

Connections Academy provides a new form of free public school that students attend from home or another location outside a traditional classroom. This is a unique program that combines the strong parental involvement of home schooling, expertise and accountability, and a flexible learning environment. Connections Academy provides all the tools and support students need to learn in the non-classroom setting.

Connections Academy is a fully accredited school program for students in grades K-12, staffed with professional teachers who provide an exceptional personalized education. Although students learn outside the traditional classroom, the program is not homeschooling. In the Connections Academy virtual environment, students receive very real support, including textbooks, materials, and live instruction from teachers and counselors.

What does a Connections Academy family receive?

First-Class Curriculum: Our program features curriculum developed by leading educational publishers. Connections Academy families receive textbooks, comprehensive lesson plans, and exciting enrichment courses.

High-Quality Teaching: Connections Academy's professional teachers work one-on-one with students and their parents to instruct, review assignments and customize the curriculum, including extra help for struggling or gifted students.

State-of-the-Art Technology: Families receive a computer, printer, and subsidy for Internet access*; online communication, planning, and learning management tools; online lessons and library resources; and technology literacy courses. Community Connections: Connections Academy facilitates numerous activities, online and in person. Our community coordinators and school staff members plan field trips, special projects, and group meetings with other families in your area.
