Connections Academy

I enrolled on this school think I was going to be good but boy I was wrong. They make you work like 6 hours a week for this work and if you don't spend that much time then you will get in trouble. They make you talk to the stuff and if you don't you get in trouble too. Test and quizzes one after the other this is sure gonna help me get into college. It doesn't teach anything it's just test and quizzes and not anything important. And the worst thing. They're making me work over Thanksgiving!! Just give me a break for once. I might just drop this school and go back to my old school cause they would totally give me a whole week off of Thanksgiving break instead give me anxiety. I'm tired of this school. The Profiles don't make sense either. If I drop from here I don't care. I'm tired of being under stress and anxiety. Give me a break dude. So if you want to enroll your kid into a online school. DON'T DO THIS ONE.

Hands down the best school we have worked with. If we ever have a question, the staff answers in a timely manner and with kindness and compassion. The lessons are just challenging enough to keep my students attention. Highly recommend!

My 8th grader has severe ADHD and learning challenges. He was struggling in the classroom and failing all classes. SCCA allows him to work at his pace and have the supports that were already established in his IEP. I am able to review the assignments and work with the teacher to adjust it for him. If he doesn't need all the practice, we can skip some practice work. If he needs more practice, they provide extra resources. If he isn't ready for a test, we can take a few extra days to prepare. The special education teachers have been wonderful at taking extra time to assist him one on one with anything that he needs extra help with. We can work at the times that he is most focused and work on his time frame. At Connections Academy he is able to have the one-on-one support that isn't possible in a classroom of 20+ kids. I have to put in my share of time and effort, but I knew that going in and it's worth it for my child to be successful and learn.

I have homeschooled two of my children through Connections for the past six years. If I had to choose between K-12 and Connections, then I would go with them each time. Yes, I have homeschooled another child of mine through K-12... He was a special needs child... They never gave him his assignments on time, when I called teachers, I never got calls back. Then I would get threats of truancy. With Connections my youngest is special needs and they help out greatly. They webmail, or call back quickly. I have recommended to several people that have enrolled with you and love you. Thanks for all you do for us.

This was our first time at Florida Connections academy, being a learning coach is a big responsibility but I was very pleased at the fact that I am there for my 10 year old daughter. She has a learning difficulty and it helps her to understand a lot more when she is home. I recommend Florida connections academy to any parent that have children who have a difficult time learning. Teachers and staff are Amazing, they listen and help with anything you have questions with.

This was our first year "homeschooling" and we chose to go with INCA because we wanted them to still be part of an accredited public school. I never pictured us schooling from home before, but we were just no longer happy with the environment and "cookie cutter" style our in-person public school provided. Not every child is made the same, or learns the same way or at the same speed as everyone else. Issues with bullying and safety also became a concern. We were hesitant at first, but the staff and teachers put as at ease at every turn. We learned the platform quickly and my kids excelled with the program. Being able to work ahead when they knew something well and spend more time on a subject when needed gave them confidence. My kids were able to take honors classes as well, which was important for us to see them challenged in areas we knew they could be.

Before Connections Academy my child was being sent home regularly for uncontrollable violent behavior. We did adhd/autism testing, counseling, therapy and everything else our public school suggested to fix our 'bad kid' but still he would act out at school, clearing out whole classrooms. The school threatened to hold him back for a year for behavior problems or we could transfer him out. We chose to transfer him into Connections Academy. Connections tested him, and he was 2 years behind his grade level.

My daughter was always a shy girl. When she got to high school, it was simply put...too much. Other students were unkind. She was different and didn't fit the mold at her small town school. She had medical issues that made attendance a nightmare for me as a parent navigating between doctors, teachers and principals. She started with Connections Academy her sophomore year, after passing only one class of her second semester of freshman year at her previous school. She graduates June 1, on time, with a GPA of 3.78. Teachers have been nothing but supportive in EVERY way to her and myself.

Arkansas Connections Academy has been an absolute lifesaver for me and my 9th grade child. She is doing so much better academically. The teachers are amazing and so helpful. We will definitely be attending next year as well!

Making the decision to move my son to Connections Academy was extremely difficult. However, I do not regret it one bit. He went from an average or below average student to all A's & B's. He is thriving with the more individualized attention from teachers, easy communication, and fun of a more stress free environment. He has more time to do things like sports, and lessons. He has gained independence, and confidence in just the one year already.
