Connections Academy

I had been trying to enroll my son in Connections Academy for over a month. I'd sent in drivers license information and filled out the notarized document they requested and no contact or communication.
I turned in the immunization records from my childs pediatric clinic and I turned in his immunization records from his school. Those were denied without contact or communication.

When calling to try and figure out what could be done the communication was horrible, It's as if this school is going out of business and no one cares.

End of story. I had the correct information submitted but unfortunately the registration deadline has ended.

I feel like I dodged a bullet. This is not a company or school I would trust to help my child.

After 1 full month in, I would say the school is failing it students.
Issue # 1. Some teachers have never read the materials in the course (90% of which is reading text and watching very short videos), nor have they reviewed the test given at the end of text. I would never expect my students to take a test that I had not reviewed or created myself. Each Teacher can have over 500 students each. Though the teachers, so far, are very helpful the content that in presented and the manner in which it is presented is overwhelming in content and lacking in creating an environment where students can succeed.
Issue# 2. The teacher/student instructional time i. E. "live Lesson" consists of a shockingly short 30-50 minutes per wk! And available for questions 4 hr per week. It is my fervent belief that unless a child is gifted with photographic memory or a parent can spend 8 hours with your child teaching the lessons the student will not be successful. Hopefully things improve.

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.

My child can not graduate this year due to Connection Academies lack of communication and misrepresentation. Most of the teachers sit at home doing other things like watch TV rather then answer their phone and BE A TEACHER! Their solution is pull your child out, they blame the child by saying "must not be a good fit" they REFUSE to take responsibility as educators! Do not be fooled by their lies! They costed my child and many others the graduation day these students worked so hard to achieve. When is America going to stand up for the future of our children? My child had dreams but this school taught him how to fail and that he should drop out and give up! You people should be ashamed of yourselves for calling yourselves "Educators".

This is my daughter's second year with INCA. I am so happy that I chose this school! The teachers' and staff are very helpful, and caring. My daughter has had some learning issues, and the teachers' have made a plan for her to get the help she needs to succeed. I would suggest this school to anyone!

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!

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).

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

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.

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.
