School Reviews
5 2/6/2017
I have 3 kids in this school from kindegarten to 11th grade. It is a wonderful school. The teachers are very friendly and helpful. Always willing to help my kids succeed in their classes. It is all done online from home or where ever you can go online. Teachers call every 2 weeks to give support and see what they can help the parent or student with. I tried a traditional public school and was very disappointed with it but Michigan Connections Academy has given me hope for my kids future schooling.
