Connections Academy

This is my daughter first year with connexus. She's in 10th grade. At first I was kind of scared because since my daughter would be working on her own. But than I saw how easy my daughter got everything and how quick all the teachers would answer her questions.and the teachers are great. If your child feels lonely, or have trouble on a homework. The teachers are quick to help. Plus is safe specially everything that's going around the world my child is safe at home and learning. And I'm able to check her grades and talk to the teachers if I have a problem. I do recommend this online classes.

My son entered Tecca in 5th and has improved each semester, largely in part to Tecca. Their teachers are amazing, the adjustable schedule is a life saver and we are now enrolled for next year. 7th grade. It has improved greatly within the last year and continues to strive for excellence. Can't wait to see what's next!

So for the last 3 and a half weeks I have been waiting on OCC to process documents to get my student started. Just 2 days ago they called me to verify my students schedule and what classes they would be taking. Well today I called back to get an official date to start and they tell me they have been waitlisted. Waitlisted after I just wasted nearly a month of back and forth with them for someone to finally tell me they cant even go here!?
What a giant joke! And also dont even think about calling this school. The first time I called I was hung up on after waiting for nearly an hour on the phone. Then a day later I called and I was called 75 in line. I finally hung up!
Find a different school this one is crap.

This coming school year will be my student's 3rd year. We decided to continue as we can see the learning pace is good for our student as long as your student will cooperate and follow instructions the students can learn the high standard of education as for my opinion.
*The FLEXIBILITY of the schedule which helps us a lot being a working parents and assisting our student.
*The SAFETY from going to a physical school to be potentially victimized by bullies.
We were concerned about the social interaction of our students before but the school also provides opportunities to interact with fellow students virtually and it's not just school that we can get our students to have social activities but church and other social gatherings out from school.
So we're confident about this school since the teachers work so hard for the sake of the students. Thank you so much FCA teachers and Admin. We do appreciate you…!

The math lessons are awful. They are very vague and even if the topic is simple, they find a way to make it difficult. The teachers take a long time to respond to webmails. By the time they respond to a question your child has, they will already be behind. The live lessons are usually irrelevant to the lessons. The lessons do not teach you everything that must be done in the assignments. This goes for most of the classes, including the electives. If your child needs help and you can't help them, they are going to get bad grades. You are better off learning the material off of Google.

The process of enrolling is a joke u make people take ur classes just to sent a email at night then and then say sence u didnt respond u have to wait on thee waiting list after all the BS they didnt even let her in u got my childs hopes up just to throw her on a waiting list

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..

This completes our 2nd year at LCA. We love having the flexibility of when & where our student can work on his lessons. Teachers have been awesome and work with our schedule. The curriculum is well-rounded and we love that we can see everything our son is being taught & by whom.
Thank you LCA

My son joined Tecca 4 yrs ago in the 6th grade. He had focusing issues and had trouble sitting for hours at a time. With Tecca he can be in his room, in the car, at an appt he has the luxury to do his homework and tests on his own time. If he needs a break after a live lesson her can take it, then start work back up. With all the school shootings and issues with the pandemic it provides a safe environment, where better than home? The teachers also follow the students progress and work and make sure they are doing their work. Also, Tecca offers field trips, sports, dances etc same as going to regular school would provide. We are thankful to Tecca my son can now work at his pace and still graduate in a safe environment. Thank you Tecca and the teachers who are always there to help answer our questions. Thank you Tabris.

I've uploaded paperwork to them multiple times & somehow it's been lost. How? When I call there is always a 20-30 min wait. They have enrollment tasks divided into small portions and the people who answer the phones can't see the documents or answer questions. So, you end up waiting to speak to individual teams. They can answer only one part of the question & then transfer you to someone else. Seriously? If it weren't for covid, I'd switch to another online provider bc their enrollment system is a complete and utter mess. I'm very scared that the when we attempt to upload school work, it will be lost and that the education is going to be sub-par, confused, and just as much of a nightmare.

My daughter loves Connections Academy! My daughter started Connections this year and has done better than ever in brick-and-mortar. She was an A student in 2nd grade and then suddenly she was failing. I transferred her to Connections Academy and she got on the A and B Honor Roll and managed to get back to her A student status none of that could have been possible without Connections Academy! I love that her teacher checks in with her when she seems to be letting her mind wander and I appreciate that the lessons can be done anytime. I love that my kid is excelling in this school and hope she continues to do so.

This is our first year with this school. We had a kindergartener and a third grader. I love the curriculum that was given for both. I noticed my kindergartner had a more advanced learning than my third grader did when they were in kindergarten. What I also liked about the school, was the flexibility. I love the pace my students are able to learn on and I'd recommend this school to anyone looking for a flexible schedule for their child.

Our experience has been exceptional with Great River Connections Academy. The teachers are very accessible and personable with their students. Both my daughters, 8th and 9th grade have had a better educational experience than their previous brick and mortar school. The curriculum for them is challenging, but fun. The whole experience of transitioning to an online school was a bit scary in the beginning, but the staff and teachers walked us through the hole process and we couldn't be happier with the results.

I've come to change my review. When I first started I hated it more than anything. It was stressful. It STILL is very stressful. I had over 40 overdue lessons and was only a few months in. I finally came out of a huge depression and got them all done. Right now I'm struggling with most work but have no overdue lessons. Mrs. Drake is the sweetest teacher. Math is the worst, I had a domain not comeplete and had a 35 and when I finished it came up to 75. Mathia is horrible as well. I was put in avenues of hope also. It doesent help, just gives MORE work to STUGGLING students! Try not to fail core courses. Just saying that this is a lot more work than public school but once you get kinda used to it it gets easier. It's still not the best tho.

My son has been attending Ohio Connections Academy for 2 years now so far the best school he has attended after 1 year at a horrible local brick and mortar school in our local area we decided to switch to online schooling we first enrolled him into Ohio Virtual Academy we hade a good 3 years with them until the end of the last year he attended with them he had a horrible experience not going into details with that but it was awful. Ohio Connections Academy has been absolutely amazing school for him though and we are looking forward to many great years ahead.

Everyone is so understanding and willing to help and they always get back to you.

Amazing! Great school with so much to offer with awsome teachers. My child has learned so much and is proud to be apart of this school. Great flexability and when you need help the teachers are fast to get back to you..

My son has been with TECCA (Massachusetts) for 2 years and the flexibility is so helpful. We were able to schedule one subject per day which helped my son manage adhd and the associated frustrations. We have the ability to take vacations and go on adventures we wouldnt have been able to in traditional schools.

They are ruthless, and dont help out only complicate, harass you to do what they want. If you do not agree to meetings, they call the cops on you. They harassed me so much to have a 504 meeting but the principal didnt attend. Then why make the meeting when hes not available? Also if your busy with meetings, actually having a job, its against their policies, My husband and i dont have the ability to answer calls when they call bcuz of meetings or taking calls. I do not recommend this school to anyone. I only put my kids in this school because of Covid, but I regret ever putting them in this school. They dont have 1 on 1s if kids need help even though we asked that before enrolling them, and they lied to us just for the funding for their school..

My Granddaughter was enrolled In SCCA after the school year started, due to bullying and other problems in the Brick and Mortar school she was attending. She was many lessons behind, the teachers were wonderful about explaining the things she needed to do in order to get caught up. The teachers have all been great as to replying to email, giving one on one live lessons when needed. These are the things that make SCCA a wonderful experience. I would recommend SCCA to any parent that is looking for a good education for their child where you know the child will get the help they need.

Initially we were a little skeptical about homeschool. Connections Academy has really impressed us with how knowledgeable and caring the teachers are. We will never go back to public school.

These teachers are engaging and truly care about their students. We have had a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend, especially if your child does not enjoy a regular high school setting.

I am a senior at Connections and it is the best decision I have ever made. Brick and mortar school was so hard for me because of all the distractions and bratty kids. At connections you don't have to worry about other kids. My teachers always respond very quickly and set up private livelessons whenever I need them, which helps a lot. I start working at 9am and work until around 8 or 9pm with LOTS of long breaks in between. My favorite classes I'm taking are living music and photography, but next semester I get to do AP psychology and sociology too! The work is easy and manageable as long as you put effort into your classes every day. I went from C's and D's to 4 A+s and 2 As! I think kids going into online school expect it to be easier so they don't work as hard, that's why they don't do as well. It's a normal school (a great one at that!), it's just on your computer. I go to GLCA.
