Amazing Teachers
April 26, 2023

These teachers are engaging and truly care about their students. We have had a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend, especially if your child does not enjoy a regular high school setting.

Just what was needed!
April 26, 2023

My daughter was having a really hard time returning to school after Covid. The anxiety was too much for her. Enrolling her in to this school was the best decision we made. The teachers are amazing and work with her.

Great school!
April 26, 2023

Connections academy is my choice for online school. My experience as a learning coach has me involved in my son's experience. This school has everything an in person school has and more! You can be involved in school activities, in person events, student council, field trips and so much more. You also can be as involved as you want. If you have outside activities and can't go to in person classes you will have the best experience. Students with some anxiety will find the school perfect for them. The education and contact with teachers is just like an in person school. You will have access to guidance counselors, school administration, and all your teachers. Your Homeroom teacher will check in with you regularly. The curriculum and courses are excellent. I would highly recommend Tecca Connections academy as your primary, middle and high school education. I wish they offered this when I was in school!

Freshman Daughter setting goals
April 25, 2023

My daughter, Bree and I just started Iowa Connections Academy in January 2023. Bree was at her whits end and didn't want to continue her education. She has extreme social anxiety, plus the beginning of her freshman year was devastating for Bree, her school desks were too small, kids were whispering and made rude commits to her. Everyday was a challenge, she didn't want to go to school because of the embarrassment. It took the school over 2 months to comply to Bree's needs and by that time, she had no self-esteem.
Since starting Iowa Connections Academy, she has done a 180'. Bree has lost 85 Lbs. She in now comfortable with her surrounding. She has never set goals in school until we started here. She has got A's and B's now. She set her goal to get nothing below a C+, then once she accomplished that goal, she set another one wanting to get B's or higher grade. And she has done that as well.
This was a hard decision to make, as I am a single parent. I have also made a free changes in myself and accomplished a free goals of mine as well. LET ME SAY: MY goal was getting Bree an education, with teachers that took priority in the students. And that is one goal I've got accomplished. I'm proud of you Bree. Keep on Rockin!

Hi Misty, We hate to hear that students faced difficult experiences at their previous schools, but we are so proud of Bree for being able to acknowledge that a change needed to be made. We're grateful that we're able to provide her with an education option that allows her to reach her full potential. Thank you for sharing her story, and we hope she continues to find success with IACA. ~Alexis

My children attended Connections Academy and online school. We were hesitant at first but we are happy we made the decision to enroll them. The teachers were great, they taught our kids an education not the nonsense that is being forced in public schools. The communication was outstanding, that is so important for children. And yes, they listen to parents!

Flexible and a good curriculum.
April 14, 2023

This is our first year with this school. We had a kindergartener and a third grader. I love the curriculum that was given for both. I noticed my kindergartner had a more advanced learning than my third grader did when they were in kindergarten. What I also liked about the school, was the flexibility. I love the pace my students are able to learn on and I'd recommend this school to anyone looking for a flexible schedule for their child.

This is a great public school solution for students who need that extra time to complete lessons. They learn at their own pace in the environment you create for them. This is our 6th year using this curriculum.

Best school ever!
April 11, 2023

I have had both of my kids in this school for years now and it seems to only get better. The teachers are amazing and always watching out for the kids. The faculty are always looking for innovative ways to make learning and teaching better for everyone. Lastly, the Board makes sure that everyone at the school has the tools to excel in their role with TECCA. Like I said, best school ever!
