Connections Academy

I have had a child in ca in Pennsylvania and another in ca in tn. The tn branch is a complete joke. Nobody takes responsibility or helps IF and that is a huge IF, they even bother responding to you. My child was confirmed for gifted since the end of last school year. Here I am contacting EVERY person in the webmail for an answer. The assistant principal NEVER responds and the teachers apparently do not have the 'authority' to fix the problem or fi d out what's wrong. Terrible lazy workers. Par the course for TN workers!

The school is overall good but can be stressful if you get the wrong teachers. The school didn't enroll my child until 4 weeks into the first day of school so they were very behind in lessons. The home room teacher is incredibly disrespectful, rude, and unhelpful. My child tells me they understand nothing from the lessons, and the feedback they get from their teacher is nothing but slander. Please pick a different school because this one is not it.

This system of schooling is not for everyone, if you child is committed to school a self-learner and just love learning and is not a social butterfly, this is great but if not you will need your traditional school my middle schooler loves it and never complains about how much work he has he is in sports and it does give him flexibility if you stay on track finish lessons, most LL have a schedule so my review fall under good for my child the software I give it 2 starts..

They take long with getting the students enrolled and they take forever to respond back once you text or email them.Ive texted them yesterday and still have not gotten a text back.

Since my son started school I have had issues with his teachers not communicating with me. We have also had issues with attendance and sleeping in class. Connections Academy has not only communicated openly with me to make sure I knew what to do but also was able to work around my son's sleeping issues! Attendance wasn't really and issue outside of learning the new way which they were very helpful and happy to explain to me.

Enrollment at the start of the school year was an easier process than if we had gone with traditional schooling and the staff was willing to answer any questions I had. They would also contact me to make sure I was understanding what they were asking for.

I love that at the end of the year they were already starting enrollment for the coming school year and that I was able to complete everything before summer really started so I don't have to rush to get my son enrolled, buy school supplies, and figure out schooling schedules in August. I now have the entire summer to get the school supplies and work on his schedule for next year

My son has been going to Connections academy for two years now. He has never attended a public brick and mortar school and so far, he doesn't wish too. He feels happier and safer at home, after hearing stories from his friends who attend brick and mortar school. And let's be honest, he doesn't have to worry about flus and strep 24/7 as brick-and-mortar schools have to. It is unfortunate that some choose to send their kids to school sick and spread viruses. He as the option to do his work on his own time as fast or as slow as he needs too. It is also awesome that he can travel with me whenever we choose to go adventure and share light and love without having to miss school. We plan to do online school all 12 seasons. Happy kids are successful kids indeed. I love getting to be by his side while he learns and grows, because I don't want to miss a thing. The teachers at connections academy truly personalize each kids learning when needed for one-on-one sessions. No kid feels left behind with the awesome commitment of connections academy teachers. The kindness and understanding they share is only what I want my son to experience. Thank you, connections academy.

My student loves this school and the experience she's had throughout the years here. The teachers are fantastic and deserve to be recognized for the support and encouragement they give to each student. They all seem to do whatever they can to help the students in any area needed. One on one is great. As with everything there are bumps and curves to adjust to however, communication with all those involved in the learning mages it an enjoyable time. Not perfect but definitely worth it. No bullying or harassment allowed. Respect is earned and given by all. Thanks for a pleasant educational experience that I know I'm grateful for in that my child feels comfortable going to school.

My son struggled in traditional public school. He was having difficulty keeping up with in class lessons and due to class sizes, his teachers often did not have time to repeat themselves or work with him one on one. He has always been a C or D student. Switching to Connections Academy has been the best decision I've ever made for him. He's now able to work at his own pace, live lessons aren't overwhelming and allow him ample breaks in between classes to regroup, and his teachers are available for one on one help if he needs it. He has been an A and B student this entire semester and even retains the information he has learned. I am so thankful we found this academic community and we are excited for the next school year.

This has been hands down the best experience for my child. The in person school did not work for my child. He went from loving school to hating it when he was in person. He came to Connections as a 1st grader and is now heading to 6th grade I really saw his passion for school come back while attending connections academy. His teachers in all grades has been so helpful and provide the resources for your child to succeed. The entire staff keeps you in the know and make everything accessible to you. I am able to reach out and feedback is always provided. It takes special educators to make a child feel the love for school virtually and I appreciate all of you who has help in doing so for my child. Thank you!

Last year this school was a mess. This year the teachers are amazing. Mrs. Weber, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Welch, Mr. Nickels are my daughter's sixth-grade teachers. They are accommodating. They always return calls, are respectful, thorough when grading papers in such a way that they explain why you got something wrong and how to fix it. I've even had moments when I've had personal issues with my daughter, and a couple of the teachers have taken the time to listen. I do wish they had more textbooks as most of them are online, but the curriculum overall is excellent.

My daughter is in the first grade and the workload is insane. She sometimes had to sit in front of a computer for 5 hours a day just to finish. It is way above grade level and they expect way to much from a 6 year old child. Some teachers don't respond to emails or do what they are supposed to do. I ended up pulling her out and putting her back in our regular public school. I would not suggest this program to anyone. It has caused severe stress and anxiety for my child.

High school was always a concern for us just because the world is; let's be honest a little nuts. I knew I made the right choice when on the day we pulled her from Boston Public Schools. A student was caught going into the School with a gun. Because he had been bullied and was tired of it. After speaking with my daughter the horror stories she told us of fights everyday; fire alarms and just nonsense. Two weeks later a parent and student removed as another student arrested with a gun. My daughter now has straight A's and last semester finished all her work a week early because she is excited for school again. Not to mention no more arguments about going to school or running around getting her to school. School life is so good my wife just finished her first semester of College! I can't say it enough; this is the best thing we have done for our daughters education!
