School Reviews
5 5/16/2011
We started with Conenctions Academy for the 2009-2010 school year, this being after my daughter had been in a regular public school for the past 6 years. After we moved within a new school district I was not happy with the test scores and larger class sizes. I researched different schools and found Connections Academy. The first year was a tough start, mostly because I was a little unprepared. But half way through we got a good system going. This year has been great, currently my daughter is in the 7th Grade. The curriculum is outstanding, the communication with teachers is awesome. They have a great online Learning Management System that is easy to use.
* You get all the books and materials delivered right to your door by UPS.
* Relaxed learning environment.
* Tuition FREE
* Field Trips, Clubs and activities
* Great interactive Live Lessons
