Minnesota Connections Academy
Willmar area families looking for an alternative to traditional bricks-and-mortar schools are invited to attend a free information session hosted by MTS Minnesota Connections Academy, http://www.ConnectionsAcademy.com, a full-time, tuition-free virtual public school program.
The event will be held Thursday, July 24, from 6-7:30 p.m., at Willmar Public Library, 410 5th Street SW in Willmar. With the addition of twelfth grade for the 2008-’09 school year, the program serves all students across the state, K-12.
Event attendees can speak with faculty and explore the school’s customized learning approach, its high-quality curriculum, http://www.connectionsacademy.com/
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. 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.
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.
