Connections Academy

I have two kid that attend this school my oldest was put on a waiting list and wasn't able to log in until 10/14 but the teachers started his lesson on the 8th so he was marked absent for thoughts two days and then they expect him to just know what all the other kids know even though they started school a whole month and some days before he did and then they so cheap they only supply them with one computer to share even in public school all the kids got there own computer and it takes all day for them to finish but they claim its better because they get to do their work when they want to its a joke

I graduated last year. It was quite the ride, and I'm thankful for having the opportunity. I constantly piled overdues, but I was able to pass at the very end because the teachers got out of their way to help me one on one for a week. Big smooch to all of 'em.
Some subjects were bull$#*! and many of the classes were heavily outdated. Some teachers took a lot of time to respond to webmails and phone calls. That's about all for my complaints though.
Thanks to you all. A tip though, teach college enrollment better without the need of a club. You should teach it to everyone anyways.

We have had such a positive experience. Both my boys have IEPs and they have helped them so much more than I ever had in brick and mortar. They were always communicating to us and the teachers had real connections with my boys. They went out of their way to meet extra with them to make them feel comfortable. Mrs. Ebie is amazing and cares so much for her students! Mrs. Hunter was always so positive and really worked hard on her lessons to engage the students. These are just two of the teachers who were amazing. We loved our SLP therapist Amanda and our OT, Eddie. I am so confident in the staff and really was not stressed regarding the IEPs as I knew the school took my concerns seriously. Highly recommend from a parent point of view, but also as an OT who provides services to students in this setting, I really recommend the school from both experiences.

I pulled my granddaughter from brick and mortar education this semester and we came to Missouri Connections Academy. This was the best decision I could have ever made for her. Her teachers are wonderful. Her IEP is followed, it wasn't in seated school. She's not bullied, she was in seated school. I only wish I had done this earlier.

My kids never enrolled in connections. I was looking into charter/online schools for my boy. I watched the informational video to find out about the school. Within 2 hours I got a call from them, I explained that I was just checking out options and wasn't ready to enroll. He was cordial and said I could call them when I was ready. The very next day I get another call from someone else. Why are you hounding me? I look at the frequently asked questions on website: Is connections a non-profit? Well only part of it... what I gathered is the schools themselves are non-profit. Since other charters in my state only get 80% of the state money for enrollment I am guessing that maybe this works the same? And the "company" gets the other 20%... and they probably aren't non-profit. Now I am just guessing here. I just really had a bad feeling about getting calls from across the county from a call center to enroll in a school in a different state. Seems fishy. But who knows.

On September 17 I made a review about how the admittance is terrible and how they wouldn't let me in because there's two which people in the school. Well they officially let me in the school and I love it so much. The teachers respond to me quickly they let me know what to do if I go on vacation or if I get sick till always answer me almost immediately if I need any help and I think it's just overall a great school. They even sent over a couple textbooks and a computer just in case you didn't have what you needed. The only thing that is bad is when you're rolling because it just takes a very long time but other than that it's a great school

My son has been with CCA since kindergarten. This year he'll be going into 2nd grade. I love that I can spend more time with him and be more involved in his curriculum. Since the pandemic happened I'm glad this program is available. Downside has been the in-person interaction with other kids. I feel he's a bit sheltered sometimes but he doesn't have a problem interacting with other kids when he's at the park or visits his dad over the summer. They do offer field trips to meet up with classmates most had been canceled the due to Covid. Hopefully, this year will be different.

I am reading a ton of bad reviews and can't even imagine what is being said. My child started this school in 8th grade and is now entering 10th. He has finished both years with A's and B's. The workload, in my opinion, is not heavy enough. Some days he is done with all his work in 2 hours. Teachers (with the exception of 1) are wonderful. If he reaches out to them with a question or an assignment he doesn't understand, they are either on the phone, in a live lesson room or through email within the same day helping him understand the issue. I am thouroughly content with his education and this school.

My daughter attended FCA for one year as an interim as she auditioned into an art school because our local public schools aren't the best. My daughter loved her time at FCA, and she improved her GPA and state testing scores on Math and English. I wanted to keep her in FCA, but she wanted the art school! I was most impressed with the teachers and their helpfulness/responsiveness when she was confused with assignments. I would wholeheartedly recommend Florida Connections Academy, we will return if the art school doesn't work out. Education is changing shape and doesn't fit the brick and mortar mold anymore.

I registered my son during the pandemic. The teachers don't want to offer any help or answer any questions you may have. You are told you are a coach and, not the teacher, that is not true. You teach the kids, not the teacher. If you do have any questions the teachers will send you a link and that is it. They have live lessons. I have attended more than one live lesson. The live lessons are required, but taech nothing. Save yourself the time and effort and go elsewhere. I gave 1 star, but trust me the school does not even deserve the 1 star.

South Carolina Connections Academy is hands down the absolute best decision we made for our son Bentley and soon to join him his older sister Aubrey! We love everything about SCCA! Bentley has several medical issues, and due to weekly treatments, being homeschooled was his only option in order to properly care for all his medical needs. South Carolina Connections Academy has done a phenomenal job of helping to make Bentley's first year of Kindergarten amazing! We have seen a tremendous amount of growth in such a short amount of time. He loves school, his teachers, and so do we! Bentley can't wait for his sister Aubrey to join him next year and live their best life as proud students of SCCA!
