Connections Academy

All these other kids complaining must not work a lot. I'm about 3 months ahead of everyone else in my local school because I spend a lot of time working on my lessons and work on the weekends. If you put in the time and effort, its really not that hard. Thanks to this school I'm going to be able to have an associates degree before I even graduate highschool. You just have to actually be motivated enough to do it yourself and actually spend time working ahead and you'll be fine. Since I work through everything a lot quicker, I normally do a lesson or two a day then have time to do whatever I please. If you don't put in the effort, your going to hate it but if your willing to actually work, it's a great school!

This is our 3rd year and we love it! My daughter was struggling in regular school and barely making c grades. She has adhd, hearing issues due to childhood ear infections and was being bullied too. I do each lesson with her as she takes notes old school style in a spiral notebook. We can start later in the day and work at our own speed. The curriculum is so detailed and easy to navigate and understand especially in combination with the videos they use in lessons. Looking forward to field trips and some in person events to return. Overall this has been an amazing experience for us. She can actually recall what she has learned and relate it to things in her world. After tears and struggles through brick and mortar school, this has been such a blessing. Now she has been on the honor roll the last 3 years and even made it into the Junior National honor society this year!

Had to remove my daughter from public school because they weren't teaching her anything. She was a sophomore in high school reading at a second grade level. She struggled with very basic math skills and no idea how to count money... so I enrolled her in Connections Academy and she learned more in 3 months than in 10 years of public school... and I am thankful to say she was able to graduate last june after only 2 years with Connections Academy... all I can say is try it... you won't be disappointed...

We are in Iowa, and have been with Connections Academy for 2 years! Our oldest started as a Kindergartner and is now in 1st Grade. I plan to do this curriculum with our boy/girl twins as well! We love the staff and the teachers here in Iowa! Even if we have questions, frustrations, or are confused about anything, the administration is ready and available to help! Customer Service is always helpful as well. And I love that it is tuition-free, without all the distractions and unnecessary social issues from a traditional brick and mortar school.

I also love the flexibility with our schedule with Connections Academy! This program has also allowed for us to be a part of a Homeschool Co-Op, be more involved in our church and church activities, as well as take part in extra curriculars - my oldest loves Taekwondo!

If you're looking for a creditable, great, schooling at home experience - look no further!

What an incredible school. We have only known Connections Academy and we have been doing it for 4 years. We are so happy with this school, every year they exceed our expectations. We love that we can be so involved with our children's education and be a part of this school by attending the many fun events they organize every month either in-person or virtually. This school goes above and beyond and we have no doubt to continue our journey with them until the kids go off to College. We couldn't envision any school more dedicated and wholesome. We are very satisfied and very involved not only in our children's education but also in the experience of the school as a whole.

My kids had a hard time in physical public school. They had to deal with bullies, had little to no extra help from teachers in the subjects they needed help with. They came home crying often and unmotivated to get their work done. Ever since we started at Connections Academy I've seen this burst of excitement from them. They love their teachers, there are so many options to receive extra help in their tougher subjects, and not once have I heard about any kids being mean. The field trips are so much fun, and my kids feel comfortable with their schoolwork. They love that they can work at their own pace, and they can lay on the couch with their kitties while they get work done. This has been the best academic decision we have ever made. We've been going through Connections Academy for 2 years, already enrolled for our 3rd year, and we will continue until both of my kids graduate. We LOVE Connections Academy!

My Son went to brick and mortar school till 8th grade. He was bullied and mistreated and just an all around bad experience. He had trouble focusing and was distracted. That is why we chose Connections Academy on line schooling. Since joining Connections Academy he has excelled tremendously academic and with expressing himself. It has been a great experience for my son and also for my husband and myself. My son has grown and become an adult and is proud of himself as are we his parents. Thank you for this amazing experience. The teachers are the best. My sons teachers have helped him with his self esteem and growth into the wonderful person he is today.

The teachers do not teach at the level of work that is required for the children. What do these teachers get paid to do? Each course (Math, Science, LA, SS) should have live lesson. The teachers do not aide in teaching the children. I understand on-line school, I get it. However, the system grades the work. The teachers don't really have to be involved with the students. The parents are the teachers. Parents should be involved in their children's education. However, where are the teachers? What part do they really play. Not sure if we will come back next year.

I had a great time here i loved there set up it was easy for me to handle on my own, I had such a great time i wish i could stay in 3rd grade with Mr. Bishop he was super nice and funny, he helped us all learn so much he taught me fractions on multiplication tricks

I cant believe all these negative reviews. My children are now in 3rd and 5th grade. We love it. The teachers are so dedicated to educating our children. Some have gone above and beyond to teach our kids. No, it isn't easy and takes time. We are talking about the education of our children. The state says 6 hours a day. Some think that is too much! Are you kidding me? All day every day should be about learning. There are NO shortcuts and they shouldn't be expected. My children are way ahead of their public school friends! I am very proud of that.

I came to Connections Academy after my son had some health issues and I also felt he wasn't progressing at his school. I was nervous when he started but as the school year progressed I noticed a complete change from my son. He was up for class and actually enjoying it. The best part is that you are not alone. The teachers the counselors are always extremely helpful and response times are quicker than I ever got from regular public school! Best decision was coming to Connections
