Connections Academy

Honestly all these reviews confuse me switching to connexus was the best choice my mom and i could have made the teachers are so willing to help and will contact you if they have concerns and will always help you as long as you put in the effort and contact them. The fact that i can do my lessons on my schedule and still have a life during the day and working in the evening and night is always great. I can't explain how much i appreciate this school for making me interested in learning again after losing all interest in school because of bullying in brick & mortar school i really love how amazing they are.

My daughter atrends this school and we both absolutely love it. The teachers stay in touch, yes they call your house, and there are many field trips for the children. Communication is NOT a problem with Connections. This school is very involved with its students. Do not enroll if you think it will be easy. You have to attend live lessons on the computer, you have to talk to your teacher, and you have to treat this as if you get up and go to a school every single day. There are many clubs, field trips, etc. for the students. They definitely can stay social with other sudents if they want to. I feel like my daughter gets one on one attention and help when she needs it. We have never had a problem at this school.

I was considering Connections Academy for my son, but ended up deciding it was not a good fit. I had inquired information about enrolling and since then they have called me every day, sometimes twice a day, one is a recording and the other is a person, they leave minute long voice mails. They also have been sending me spam emails telling me I need to finish enrollment, even though I have emailed them now twice stating I do not wish to enroll. Clearly something is going on here that all this school cares about is having numbers, no other school has spammed my phone and email after simple inquiry. I won't recommend this school based solely on the fact that they won't stop calling and emailing me to try to convince me to enroll, they don't care about students, they care about numbers, like any other public school.

I'm so happy to have found tecca I wish I knew of it earlier. My student and I are very happy with the school. They give just the right amount of work and always have support in place if needed. Staff is great and supportive. Easy to navigate website and great communication. If your thinking about enrolling I highly recommend

I would like to take the time to say that I really love Connections Academy. My son has learned so much. It took us a while to adjust. But now we gave a routine down. My son Joshua (1st grade) has blissomed. Fir the most part he lives the learning a activities. The curriculum is wonderful. The teachers are there whenever you have a question. It's a great place for kuds and parents to learn together.

I'm a single parent. I put all my time and money into things like Web Cams and computers for my daughter and I all I got was the run around from this school. I couldn't even get through the enrollment process, they just ran me in circles.

I began to enroll my daughter into the Tennessee Connections. My first account was deactivated. I called their number and waited 90 minutes to talk with someone. Before hanging up, he said he would reactivate my account, but never did. I set up another account, scanned and uploaded all the required documents. Two days later, they deactivated that account. Again, no explanation or reason given whatsoever. I give up. From waiting on the phone for over an hour to talk with someone, to no explanation as to why they deactivated my accounts, and the poor response of supposed professionals when I sent emails to them explaining my situation and only 1 out of 7 responded. The response I did receive was of no help and she offered no other resources, direction, or action in which I could take. Based on these facts, not only should you not have your child enroll here, but this institution needs to be looked into by the Tennessee Board of Education.

Connections academy has been a life saver. My son isn't the best student, and school definitely isn't his favorite thing, but his teachers have been the best. They have encouraged him along the way and have been there for me every time I needed them. Thanks!

My son is 5th grade special education and his education here is amazing! His reading jumped two grade levels in the span of 7 months. He doesn't miss any school for all of his doctors appointments being a kidney transplant kid. I also have a 9th grader. It took us while to get a good Homeroom teacher (3 minutes old ones). Her new one is amazing! She is way head of her friends in our brick and mortar school here.

Connections Academy has been a perfect fit for our family. My 7th grader is doing much better with the virtual format versus the physical format. The teachers are very responsive and the applications are easy to navigate.

I love it. I've started homeschooling my eighth grader half way through the school year for multiple reasons. I understand some of the negative reviews but some of it sounds like complaining and excuses for not succeeding. Some of the work is hard and some is super easy, just like in public school. Homeschool is not supposed to be an easy way out. You can do it as long as you stay on top of your schedule and correspond with your child's teacher on a regular basis, like you would in a public school setting. You have to be organized so assignments don't pile up, and show your child the best way to navigate the system for them. If you and your child are not focused on the education, problems would arise, I''m sure of it. Now my daughter is thriving and our relationship has gotten closer because of North Carolina Connections Academy. I would would recommend to anyone.

We really like it. Yes it is a lot of work and parents do need to be actively involved with lessons, but theyre much further along than he was in traditional school. Its a temporary choice for us but its definitely one I feel good about. Am I tired? Yes. Is my kid getting a good eduction? Absolutely.

My daughter is beginning her senior year with Calif CA. She started at CCA mid sophomore year, after struggling with sleep deprivation, anxiety and working within her classes' time frame.
She thought a lot about going back to her huge high school so she could do all the senior stuff with the kids she grew up with, but the benefits of the online learning were greater.
She loves being able to do the work at whatever time each day. If she sleeps till 11:00, and starts work at 4:00 pm, that's fine! It is a lot of work, probably more than the regular high school, but she loves the style of learning.
Any time we have needed anything the teachers and staff have been fantastic. We have learned the importance of establishing a report with them through emails and occasional phone calls.
My daughter's grades are all A's and B's now. She knows what she has to do and gets it done. She is picking out colleges to apply to, and feeling positive about school thanks to this great program.

My son has needs lots of extra help plus small group time. The staff and his case manger are awesome and are always there to help my son and the teachers have time 4 days a week open when you can schedule extra time for help one on one time as well...

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!

I have been going to this school for 3 years now, and I love it! The teachers are amazing! I was skeptical about going to this school, but I am so glad that I'm attending! Thank you ConnectionsAcademy!

Flexibility was key! Great learning experience. My high school son has thrived academically. If it weren't for the excessive emails I would have rated higher. Hopefully, senior year email's will be a lot more specific than just general high school. My son is poised for a great senior year and college thereafter.

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!

"If you are looking for a school that will learn you more than a public school, this is the choice for you!. The teacher and staff are so nice!, and they even have courses to give you an opportunity to learn about new material, they even have an early-graduate plan too... I even love this school myself!.

Teachers do not actually teach. It's all computerized. They test and quiz on information that they do not even teach. Brick and mortar teachers will actually do test reviews... Connections does not. If your student is self motivated, they may make it. But be prepared for many frustrated nights and tears.

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.
