Connections Academy

Homeschooling might not work for everyone however, we have had a fantastic experience with Florida Connections Academy. The teachers and staff are great and they act fast when you need something from them. The lessons are just about right for my learner and interactive. No plans of returning back to a brick-and-mortar school considering our amazing moments with FCA. We have all the control over her lesson time and if you are lucky that your learner doesn't need too much of your time, just like mine, bonus point!

Our experience with Connections Academy has been nothing less than a dream come true! From the very first phone call, to almost the end of our first year has been amazing. Everyone is kind, supportive, helpful, and there when you need them. The teachers go out of their way to make sure your child's needs are met and they are successful. Homeschooling keeps my child safe, and allows her the freedom to build connections and create friendships in the setting of our home. I would recommend this school to all parents! It has been a blessing! Thank you Connections!

My two daughters have been enrolled (6th & 8th grade) since Sept. 2016, and they both love it. Yes, the workload is high, but it's possible to have flexibility if taking off and catching up during weekends and other holidays. Even if the amount of work is high but students soon catch up with the rhythm and know what is expected of them. Connecting with teachers is super easy too, again it's a matter of habit to pick up the phone or email them when we need something; they are very responsive. I haven't had any issues and both our daughters love it.

The best part of Connection Academy by far are some of the teachers, one in particular is Scott Collins.my son is a student of his.
You could not ask for a better teacher to work with your child he just makes it easy. The kids love him and he is an overall amazing person. If it wasn't for Scott I don't know how things would be for my child that faces some speech challenges. I am so glad we've had the opportunity to work with Scott. I'm so grateful and appreciative.

We were hesitant at first to enroll in this school, but we decided to give it a try. In fact, we were shocked by the amount of organization and attention on the part of the administrators and teachers, who provided us with the necessary assistance. My child now had enough time to learn and be disciplined with school schedules. Which made his life much easier. The program is easy to use and there are continuous trainings for parents, which makes the work easy, and that will help the students to achieve their goals. Thanks to everyone who participated to create this amazing school program.

My son was behind in public school and couldn't get enough time with teachers and little one on one. When he did it was with little results that stuck. He struggled with math and writing papers. At Ohio Connections Academy there are several EXCELLENT Math, Science, and English support options and effective supplementary computer programs! They have made a huge change in my sons education and confidence. I am not good at teaching writing or math so the additional help was a huge help. My son went from a D to B in one quarter and maintained it. Thank you for putting such an effective program together. My son actually likes going to school, likes his teachers, and his grades and education has consistently improved in Math, Science, and English. This is our 3rd year and we're staying.

Our experience with MNCA has been an amazing one that will have us continuing next year. Mrs. Werner has gone above and beyond everyday to help with any struggles or questions we've had and has made this year one of the best, as my daughter also says, and she hopes that she will have more great years. Not only have we received help when needed but Mrs. Werner has made it fun, exciting, and enjoyable even when it was challenging. Everyday my daughter looks forward to Live Lesson because she loves the positivity, equal participation, and the familiar structure. We've had a great year and also recommended MNCA to many of our friends as well. I highly rate Mrs. Werner as being an outstanding teacher!

I would spend over 12 hours a day with my kid on assignments and was never ending. And never caught up. Some of the answers in Math were completely wrong. Imagine math is stupid. We spend over 50 hrs on it and it states we only completed 1 percent. A waste of time. I regret enrolling with the program, it's a big burden especially for young children to be expected. Especially when when assignments don't stop piling up. I don't see why the teachers don't reach out? I'm pretty much homeschooling my kid and someone is getting paid for it and giving them grades.

My student is in 9th grade right now. He has trouble focusing and without connections Academy I don't think he would have stayed with his own age/grade range. The curriculum is sometimes a bit in depth, but for the most part, it is definitely doable. I also like the flexibility it gives with time to get lessons finished and being able to finish lessons ahead of time when needed. They also give plenty of time to catch up on overdue lessons.

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.

The 2020 school year started with so much uncertainty that I didn't have high expectations that our district could scramble to keep up with hybrid/virtual/in person and variations of them all. A couple of my daughter's (3rd grade) classmates were doing Connections Academy and I figured that it would be a more seamless year for her if we did that too. It has far exceeded my expectations. The curriculum is presented in a very thoughtful way that let's us communicate on a wide variety of subjects. The way that the program is designed makes it easy to keep up, work ahead, and work on our schedule. My daughter is in gifted and the project was great. The teachers communicate well and take time to get to know students. I'm strongly considering continuing through elementary school because my daughter has been able to learn so much more than in a brick and mortar school where there is no opportunity to work ahead or explore subjects at this depth.

I have two students that were straight A and B students, Now they're failing because this school wont grade work on time and they do not Participate in anyway to help the students. My daughter was in Beta Club and now she is failing. I'm really considering placing them back in regular school. I'm starting to dislike this school. I forgot to mention how much hard work they give kindergarden students, its ridiculous My 3 children are suffering all because of these lazy $#*! teachers.

Be careful of this school! Lots of technology problems and very little communication between the different departments. My son loses submitted lessons on a daily basis, which means wait on them to restore them, which they cannot do - or redo them! Puts him further and further behind and discourages his grades. Mark Reider is an awesome teacher there - one of the few that is dedicated and works to help in any way. So grateful we had him this year. But we can't get acknowledgement of the problem from anyone else there or any real help getting it fixed. The principal of the Arkansas school is completely out of touch with what is happening, and the IT department is nonexistent, unfortunately. The association of Arkansas Charter Schools says there is nothing they can do to help! This is where our tax dollars are going, Arkansas!

From before school started to right this very moment my experience with Maine Connections Academy has been excellent. The communication between staff and student as well as staff and parent/caretaker is extraordinary. I've NEVER been so informed before, from absences to information on my child's work and grades. I am impressed about the fact that I have to submit work and attendance is also reported by the parent. Every step of the process is amazing. Our counselor and teachers are great, informative and caring.
