During the information session, attendees will speak with faculty and explore the school’s customized learning approach, high-quality curriculum, http://www.connectionsacademy.com/ Unlike home school curriculum, Connections Academy students work with state-certified teachers along with their parents or other “learning coaches” to create daily lesson plans that meet their individual needs. The program’s standards-aligned curriculum, technology tools, extensive selection of electives and clubs, and community experiences create a personalized alternative to a bricks-and-mortar classroom. The curriculum combines textbooks from leading publishers with cutting-edge, yet easy-to-use, technology resources and hands-on materials. Each year, Connections Academy students eagerly await their back-to-school boxes of learning materials, which includes computers, textbooks, workbooks, CD-ROMs, microscopes and other science equipment, art materials, even jump ropes and other physical education supplies. 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.
