OUR COMMUNITY OF LEARNERS AND DOERS
Each Connections Academy® school fosters a caring community that includes students from across their state.
OVERVIEW
All the Ways Online Students Come Together
Connecting with other students at school and in the local community is a big part of what makes Connections Academy® so enriching. Your child will love all the opportunities they have to make new friends and explore their passions.
In addition to meeting with their fellow students in LiveLesson® sessions and collaborating with them on school projects, your child can join many other activities. Our virtual clubs for students give your child the chance to meet up with students with similar interests. When available, in-person field trips bring students together for great learning experiences. And the more flexible schedule gives your child time to play sports, pursue art, volunteer or do anything else they enjoy in their community.
FIELD TRIPS
A World to Discover
There is so much to see and do all over America. And our voluntary field trips give your child a chance to experience the amazing places that are closest to home. From historical sites to zoos, museums, the great outdoors and so much more, your child can go on adventures alongside their fellow students, exploring, learning and having fun together.
VIRTUAL CLUBS & ACTIVITIES
Plenty to Get Excited About
What does your child love? Computer coding? Writing poetry? Playing chess? Maybe they want to try their hand at journalism. Or take part in a scientific experiment. Whatever their passion—whatever new interest they want to explore—they’ll likely find an online club that feels made for them.
Through our clubs, your child can build on the skills they’re learning in class while making new friends and gaining social confidence. Our clubs even offer opportunities to compete in contests at local, state and national levels. Clubs are a wonderful way for your child to learn, grow and enjoy school even more.

MILITARY FAMILY SUPPORT
Online Learning Opportunities for Those Who Serve
Family. It’s the building block of communities. And an important part of helping children develop the character and resilience they need to thrive. Which is why our Military Support Team is here to make sure military families receive the support they need to overcome the unique challenges they face and make Connections Academy the right choice for their children.We welcome military families into our community with open arms. If you or your spouse serves in the U.S. military, we’re prepared to assist:
- When your family transfers from a base in another state
- If your family needs guidance when transitioning to an online environment
- When you need information about graduation requirements
- If your child needs extra support during a family member’s deployment
- As you plan a transfer to an out-of-state base
- Whenever other needs related to military service arise
Visit your state’s Connection Academy website to connect with your Military Support Team.
VIRTUAL GRADUATION
Ensuring Families Can Celebrate
High school graduation is a big deal. And, at Connections Academy, we give it all the pomp and circumstance it deserves.
When your child graduates from our online high school, they’ll gather with you and the rest of your family for a graduation ceremony. Caps and gowns and diplomas are all part of the day, giving your child the recognition they’ve earned before they move on to their next adventure, prepared to take on the world.
ONLINE LEARNING COMMUNITY
Making Local Connections
Wherever you live in America, your local community is a part of who you are. And that makes it a part of who we are too. All across the nation, our community coordinators, Learning Coaches and students come together to volunteer and participate in community events. It’s a great way to be a part of your local community and your online school community.
