By Lisa (Ca) Visitor Review: I taught at a Connections Academy. If you are a dedicated homeschooler this may not be the school for you. The curriculum is very challenging and rigorous and students are expected to meet deadlines and attend school 6 hours a day. On line learning for the most part is corporate…
By Pam Gouin (Cheboygan, MI) Visitor Review: I loved Connections Academy, in particular, MICA which is Michigan Connections Academy. I had homeschooled my 2 children for 2 years, prior to this enrollment. I chose MICA because I wanted an accredited school with everything paid for. I was not disappointed. There was a short learning curve…
By Melissa (Florida) Visitor Review: I made a huge mistake enrolling with Connections Academy. Our first two weeks with this school were challenging, but our last five weeks were horrible. I am taking the time to write this review because people need to know the potential problems they may face with this company. It’s administrative…
By Anonymous (United States) Visitor Review: The entire year was filled with continual technical challenges, constant teacher turn over, and no replies to emails or phone calls. Finally at the end of the year my son was so far behind that we were given a deadline as to when all the work had to be…
By Anonymous (Florida) Visitor Review: This is our 2nd year with SC-Connections Academy. I have a 9th grader and 7th grader and I’m sad to see I am the only one here with a positive review. Granted, nothing is perfect – but I’m very active on the CA message boards, and I can say there…
By Pauline (Indianapolis, IN) Visitor Review: As many of the reviews point out, the student is overloaded because, according to the new principal and my granddaughter’s teacher, the Academy has decided to hold its students to a higher standard than the local public schools. There are constant technology glitches and the IT dept nor the…
By Anonymous (USA) Visitor Review: Many good (A or B) students in the public school system in Iowa will test in high school equivalency, grades 9-13 plus for a subject in the upper elementary grades. For example, my son isn’t a genius or anything and tested grade 9 and 10 for all subjects in 3rd…
By Anonymous (Ohio) Visitor Review: Was at connections academy, had to move to Texas (from Ohio) on temporary orders (less than 3 months) they dis-enrolled both my kids with an e-mail because they were afraid of not getting their money from the state (which is false they would have gotten their money) So if you…
By Ruby (Texas) Visitor Review: My name is Ruby and I am from Texas. We tried Connections Academy for the 8th grade and it was the most horrible experience in education that I have ever had. From the beginning both my son and I felt like failures. We could never catch up because as you…
By Anonymous (USA) Visitor Review: I signed up our age 10 child for some extra math exercise through the Connections Academy Summer Smarts Program, which is supposed to assess your child and then give assignments to your child. Tutoring comes with the $90+ fee. The assessments were very basic at first, yet they were timed…
