MTS Minnesota Connections Academy creates an individualized alternative to a bricks-and-mortar classroom by combining state-certified teachers, high-quality curriculum, unique technology tools, an extensive selection of electives and clubs, and community experiences. With the addition of twelfth grade for the 2008-’09 school year, the program serves all students across the state, K-12. The program’s curriculum combines textbooks from leading publishers with cutting-edge, yet easy-to-use, technology resources and hands-on materials. Learning from home, students work closely with their parents, or other “Learning Coaches,” along with state-certified teachers, using detailed daily lesson plans personalized to meet individual student needs.
MTS Minnesota Connections Academy is designed to meet the needs of students and their families who are looking for an alternative to the conventional classroom — those who need a flexible schedule, learn at a different pace from their peers, need more individualized attention or live in isolated rural settings. Homebound and previously home-schooled students can also thrive in Connections Academy’s program. Connections Academy operates its full-time virtual public school program in Minnesota through a partnership with the Minnesota Transitions Charter School.
