Connections Academy

The best part of Connection Academy by far are some of the teachers, one in particular is Scott Collins.my son is a student of his.
You could not ask for a better teacher to work with your child he just makes it easy. The kids love him and he is an overall amazing person. If it wasn't for Scott I don't know how things would be for my child that faces some speech challenges. I am so glad we've had the opportunity to work with Scott. I'm so grateful and appreciative.

This is our 2nd year and our 1st year was better but we're still going to stay on for another year and see how it goes. The Language Arts this year, has had an overwhelming amount of work and I just think it's been way too much for 7th graders. Also the frequency of benchmarks is ridiculous, I really do not think they need to happen as often as they have this year. The amount of portfolios required from every class, has been a lot more this year as well and I just think those are unnecessary as well.

If you're looking for a learning environment for your student that allows flexibility and employs a great staff, look no further! GRCA has been the best decision for our family. We are currently in our 3rd year with them and our plans are to continue until graduation. Each and every staff member goes above and beyond to help our student excel. There are clubs and activities for all interests too, along with National Junior Honor Society and other student led organizations. Do yourself and your student a favor and check out GRCA!

Our experience has been one without anything confusing because everyone is all there to help you or lead you to whom you need to speak with. My son has done better here than any other schools as his curriculum is also easy to follow. We made a great choice picking Georgia Connections Academy!

From before school started to right this very moment my experience with Maine Connections Academy has been excellent. The communication between staff and student as well as staff and parent/caretaker is extraordinary. I've NEVER been so informed before, from absences to information on my child's work and grades. I am impressed about the fact that I have to submit work and attendance is also reported by the parent. Every step of the process is amazing. Our counselor and teachers are great, informative and caring.

Connections Academy has been an amazing choice for us. Our family is truly blessed to be part of such an amazing school! Two of our children have graduated from Connections Academy. Both are finishing their first year in college! Lipscomb University and Western Kentucky University. Our last child is a freshman in Connections Academy, we look forward to three more exciting years. Thank you Connections, absolutely the best of the BEST!

I like the workload for my middle schooler, my freshman has a more extensive reading workload but the only complaint I have is the teachers could probably be a little more accessible. Hopefully next year will be better in that regard.

My student is in 9th grade right now. He has trouble focusing and without connections Academy I don't think he would have stayed with his own age/grade range. The curriculum is sometimes a bit in depth, but for the most part, it is definitely doable. I also like the flexibility it gives with time to get lessons finished and being able to finish lessons ahead of time when needed. They also give plenty of time to catch up on overdue lessons.

Worrst online school ever, be prepared to teach your child yourself with the lesson plans they provide, expect college style lecturing with assigned reading and asynchronous work. Basically, as the "learning coach" you're the unpaid teacher and they get paid by the state.

Update: Connections Academy responded by reporting my review as not having a valid email address... I wonder how many bad reviews they get removed in an underhanded and dishonest way.

This sxhool has great field trips for students to interact with others. They have a great course selection and electives. My daughter had anxiety about the crowded hallways in school and feels comfortable and can work at her own pace and usually is ahead of the completion dates

Lots of opportunities to meet up with school mates. No penalty if you can't make it. Convenient test sites. Complete access to grades. My child is more focused on learning without distractions.

I enrolled my 5 children with Florida Connections Academy in 2019. My children have thrived in this program. They are learning so much more, because they are able to get one on one attention not only from me, but from the teachers as well. They are able to take the time they need on each subject and not feel rushed to get something done. All of the teachers and staff are so great! They are always willing to help when my kids need it. They always message back quickly when I have a question or even if my children have a question. We love this school and I plan on all 5 of my children graduating with Connections Academy.

We were hesitant at first to enroll in this school, but we decided to give it a try. In fact, we were shocked by the amount of organization and attention on the part of the administrators and teachers, who provided us with the necessary assistance. My child now had enough time to learn and be disciplined with school schedules. Which made his life much easier. The program is easy to use and there are continuous trainings for parents, which makes the work easy, and that will help the students to achieve their goals. Thanks to everyone who participated to create this amazing school program.

We absolutely LOVE Alabama Connections! Everyone has been Amazing through this whole 1st Year. The Teachers are Amazing. They have helped my kids with anything & everything that they need help with. Even one on one if needed. It has been 1 AMAZING Year. We look Forward to many more Years with Alabama Connections.

My daughter enrolled her freshman year and is currently finishing up her junior and looking forward to completing her senior year with MCA. Can not say enough positive about our experience. The curriculums, the teachers, the advisors and overall support has been nothing short of amazing. They continue to amaze me each year.

We were late getting our daughter enrolled to Connections Academy but everyone jumped in ready to help us. My daughter has had such a great experience. She's enjoyed her first year of homeschooling and looking forward to her next year.

Our 8 years with Ohio Connections Academy has been everything we hoped for. The academics and curriculum are on par with brick and mortar schools. The teachers are always exceptional and put the students first. The therapists are always highly qualified and dedicated to the children they help. All of the staff are very dedicated and do everything they can to provide an excellent education for the children that are part of the new modern way of providing education for your children in a flexible environment. We are highly satisfied and plan to continue with Connections Academy until graduation.

This is not an online charter school in the sense of what you think. If you sign your kids up for this - you are not simply an "Aide" to the learning process - you ARE the teacher. The live lessons do not deliver course content. All content is electronic with learning coach providing context and assistance. And while you might think "sure - I can spend a few hours a day with my kids working on school - I've done that with homework" this is completely different. Every day I regret this decision.

Content is not consistent - and assessments can be poorly written. End of content assessment has 4 or 5 questions so miss one or two - goes against grade greatly. Assignments in the course content - as I've spoken to a couple of teachers - are poorly written so make sure to check the message boards for the correct information.

We selected this school to avoid live instruction until Covid is under control - and now I fear that this experience has significantly increased the negative impact of this pandemic.

To be fair a couple of pros:
- teachers are very responsive when you do have questions
- If you truly want to homeschool - this might be the place for you so you don't have to submit any homeschool paperwork and you know the content is inline with your state's curriculum

This school had provided my child the best education opportunity she can get in a homeschooling environment with professional teachers and staff highly recommended for someone with health problems like my child

My son Anderson and y are extremely grateful for great rivers connection academy and all of the staff and teachers are truly amazing. Thank you

It has always been easy to adapt and get the enrollment done. Going into year 6 with yall for 11th grade year.

We have been in MNCA since 2020. We originally moved over because of the uncertainty during Covid but 2 of my kids have chosen to go again every year since. One of my kids did dcoose to to our local district school and chose to go back to Connections the next year. I love the flexibility and the level of involvement I am allowed. It really is the best fit for us.
