Connections Academy’s mission is to help each student maximize his or her potential and meet the highest performance standards.

Our program is a rapidly growing form of free public school that students attend outside the walls of a traditional classroom. It combines strong parental involvement of learning at home, the expertise and accountability of public education, and the flexibility of online classes.

 They take students 20 years old and younger.
