The non-traditional learning environment can be a
great fit for all types of students including those who are significantly ahead
or behind in the classroom, those who need a flexible schedule or learn at a
different pace from their peers, and those who need more individualized
attention or live in isolated rural settings. Homebound and previously
home-schooled students can also thrive in Connections Academy’s program.
The information session will provide families with
an opportunity to meet with a Connections Academy teacher, thoroughly explore
the school’s program and curriculum, and learn about the enrollment process. Other topics
covered include: how teachers interact with students in the virtual
environment, personalized learning opportunities including options for accelerated
learning and gifted programs, college preparation, socialization, the role of
the parent or other Learning Coach, and the use of technology.
