Mnca is a wonderful school. We are able to work at our pace. We have enjoyed the virtual and in person field trips. They seems to offer something for everyone with the wide variety of options. The teachers are so warm and engaging with the students. My daughters teacher Mrs.Werner has taken the time to know each of the students in her class and is able to encourage them not only about academics but whatever interests them.
Connections Academy really works for our high schooler. We started a few years ago and have not looked back. The schedule is flexible. The learning suit our child's needs. Straight As. We all like it. And, best yet, we get to spend more time with our child, as a family. My wife and I love it, and our son loves it. Thanks Connections Academy, you are doing great!
Hi Mark, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback! It is great to hear how we have impacted not only our students, but our families as well. We are so happy to hear that your son has been doing so well at our school and that you and your wife also get to spend more time with him! ~Alexis
Our family was introduced to Connections Academy through a friend of ours whose daughter graduated from Connections. When the public schools were reopening for in-person we were not absolutely sure about allowing our student back in. When we visited the school our student was going to attend, the classrooms had no social distancing, and that confirmed our decision to consider NMCA. Since then we love it! We love the flexibility! We love that our student is able to learn at his own pace and with the pearson curriculum he is actually learning unlike the public schools. I have always been involved with our student's education when our older ones were in the public school system before the pandemic, but Connections gives me complete access to his learning and I love that! The Teachers are great! I would encourage any parent(s) to consider NMCA for a better, deeper, and challenging learning platform for their student(s).
Hi Brenda, We love that you're able to be involved in your student's education and that NMCA has been a great fit for your family! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! ~Alexis
Connections Academy gives us the freedom to set our schedule to a more comfortable learning path for our child, all while giving our child a quality education. Everything about connections is easy and wonderful. We highly recommend it!
Hi Brittany, We're glad to hear that your family is able to set their own schedule with school! Thank you for the recommendation! ~Alexis
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.
This warms our hearts, Carrie! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review of Florida Connections Academy! ~Alexis
I pulled my Daughter from public High School in 2016 (personal issues within the family) I then enrolled her in Texas Connections Academy your child needs to be self motivated for sure she was 16 and with cap and gown walked with other Connections Academy students to get her Diploma. The Teachers are the Best they connect with your child more and you seem to have more access to them. I highly recommend especially now with Cov 19. If your child is self motivated and wants to learn. This is the school for you
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!
This is incredible, Patricia! We hope your two college students are doing well and hope your freshman enjoys the rest of their school year this year! ~Alexis
My daughter is new to Connections Academy this fall. It took until the beginning of DECEMBER for her to get her books in the mail! The teachers are supposed to be available for students to ask questions, but they never are. Only one of her 6 teachers will even respond to emails, and sometimes it can take 3-4 days for a reply. We had to sign up for IXL.com so my daughter could learn the math lessons, since Connections does NOT TEACH her anything. The math teacher simply replies with "I cannot help you". How is that TEACHING?! We have notified the school that she will be dropping out of this terrible place at the end of December. I'll homeschool her. I would give Connections a ZERO if I could. IXL.com does a great job teaching math, I'll stick with that.
Teachers and school are excellent. They keep you informed with day to day activity on your child. You have concerns or need advice on some school work they are willing to help out in any way. I am grateful that my child is attending this school.
Hi Angela, Thank you for the recommendation! We hope your student continues to thrive with us! ~Alexis
Transferring from brick and mortar to connections has been great for my daughter. Being able to still have classmate interaction and the teachers being on LiveLesson and also study hall. She has flourished and I can't wait to see what this next year will bring.
This warms our hearts, Sunni! We're so happy to hear that your daughter is thriving at our school! ~Alexis
Our first year on an online platform. We transferred from traditional school to online at the start of 7th grade. Our child has so much more free and family time! She is so much happier and Honor roll!
We're thrilled to hear that your student has had such a successful first year at our online school! Thank you for sharing, Kim! ~Alexis
Alabama Connections has been a blessing for our family. Public school had so many wasted time periods. My daughter has a young child and public school was not what she needed while raising her child. Alabama Connections let's her move along at her own pace. Just makes getting a education a easier accomplishment for her.
Hi Sheila, Thank you for sharing your review of ALCA! We're glad to hear that your daughter is doing so well there and is able to raise her child while going to school! ~Alexis
This school is absolutely amazing. They truly care about their students education and future. My child has surpassed my expectations through the help of SC Connections Academy really thinks about and cares about your children's future. Also, they care about what and how your child feels. This is the best decision I could have ever made about my sons future. Thank you SC Connections Academy
Hi Bambi, We're thrilled to hear that South Carolina Connections Academy has been so supportive towards your student. Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! ~Alexis
I have 2 sons who have been attending since elementary and they love Connections Academy. One already graduated and was well prepared for college! I have been extremely satisfied with the curriculum and the content in the weekly Live Lessons provided by their teachers. I am actively involved in their education and love being able to view the curriculum for the semester, view my students' gradebook and teachers' message boards. The school provides a wealth of resources which has directly contributed to my boys' academic success.
Hi Lucy, Wow, over eight years! We hope that your son, who has graduated, does great in college! And we hope that your son, who is still with us, continues to thrive! ~Alexis
He was doing so wonderful thanks to this school, their teachers and staff. If I had to do over again, I would do it the same way. They meet his needs for education, he looks forward to going to school.
We love to hear that your student is doing so well at our school, Mark! Thank you for leaving your review! ~Alexis
The faculty worked with myself and my child through a very difficult year they were compassionate, very helpful with missed lessons, providing counseling and guidance and understanding helping with school work and outside tragedies they are great and we look forward to working with them in the fall
Hi Jane, We're sorry to hear that you had a difficult time in your life, but are grateful to hear that our staff was able to help your family through it. Thank you for sharing. ~Alexis
Our son is in the process of completing grade 9 at Connections Academy. He has attended Connections Academy from grade 5 through grade 9 and is enrolled to attend for his sophomore year. While the curriculum can be challenging at times, the support of the staff and administration is excellent. Questions are answered in a timely manner and are always addressed with kindness and consideration. We highly recommend Connections Academy to families searching for an online school.
Thank you for leaving your review, Nancy! We're glad to hear that our teachers have been able to help your son for so many years! ~Alexis
I chose Connections Academy for my sophmore daughter after she decided she did not want to return to our local public school. Huge mistake. Both of my sons had attended a different online school for 3 years and had very little trouble. Connections academy is terrible. The lessons are terrible, the staff is terrible and there's no flexibility in scheduling. My daughter went back to public school before the end of her sophmore year because it was so bad..
With my child being bullied treated poorly in public school he was so afraid of school but we found Alca and he's learning everyday and is excited about school, we love that we are able to do school at his pace and absolutely love the teachers! Best decision we ever made!
Hi Sarah, We're so relieved to hear that your student is able to complete his schoolwork in a safe environment that works for him, especially after what he experienced at his local school. ~Alexis
This is our first year at Connections Academy.
My son is autistic and was struggling in public and private schools. It was a great decision to try online school. My son is more happier. He is learning and improving academically. The school is providing OT, Speech and behavior therapy. His teacher Ms Eastep is very professional and over the top. I truly recommend this school to parents who their kids are struggling to attend regular schools. My son used to be bullied every day. I am glad we are part of this amazing school. Their customer and technical service do an outstanding job if you need help and support.
I just registered my son for next year 2024 and I truly recommend this school to parents who their kids struggled in public school. What a fabulous school
I'm so sorry to hear that your son was bullied in his former schools. It's great that he's settling in well at Connections Academy. We want every student to feel safe, welcome, and respected! ~Alexis
