My family travels for work, and we needed to take our son with us. We decided to give MOCA a try because of the flexibility. It has been a great success. Our son says he feels like he has learned more than he was at his in person school. My husband was concerned about his social interactions, but they have regular opportunities for him to get together and meet people in his own age group. He also has plenty of time to talk to his friends. Overall, it has been a very positive experience for us.

We started our son on this school in kindergarten. He is now completing 8th grade this year. This system along with our involvement at home has helped produce a more critical thinking and independent individual than brick n mortar in my humble opinion. His mom has had health problems in the past escalating into a very challenging time for our family. She has now progressed into end of life stages. Without the flexibility of this system... the teachers and faculty that support it...constant evolution I would have had to pull him out of traditional school for sure. When the world fell apart in 2020 he lost no pace. In fact that is my only problem with the school. In 2020 when room needed to be made for brick and mortar kids to jump in due to school closures they cut 1/2 of the curriculum out for the year right away. Then there was one other adjustment. I'm not faulting them for being great human beings... it's just my only complaint. Thank you for helping us not only to educate our child but to be hands on involved. It has been some of the greatest moments with our son.

Our daughter has attended Connections Academy for 2 years now, and the experience has been terrific. We have excellent communication between her teachers and administrators, and they take any questions or concerns we have seriously. The schedule is very flexible and allows for plenty of extracurricular activities, and the school also offers plenty of clubs and field trips too. My entire family is thrilled that our daughter can get an education this way in a safe, loving, and supportive environment. My husband and I both work part-time from home so it is a perfect fit. We decided long ago that our child would not be going to a brick or mortar school, and Colorado Connections Academy is the best school we could hope for.

My son has been doing much better since he enrolled into the connection Academy school his work have been more better he have been excellent at doing other things that he have never done when he was in regular school this is a great school for any child to learn from teachers that help you the coaches other parents to help you and the counseling and everything is great and teachers experience with the child is very great I like how they talk with the child how they explain the assignment and how they let you know when the child is doing well or if they're needed if they any other if they need any credit recovery work the counselor will automatically let the child know that they're going to add that to their assignment for the credit recovery and teachers show them how to correct work my son and I are pleased to be at the school it's a wonderful School

I came to Connections Academy after my son had some health issues and I also felt he wasn't progressing at his school. I was nervous when he started but as the school year progressed I noticed a complete change from my son. He was up for class and actually enjoying it. The best part is that you are not alone. The teachers the counselors are always extremely helpful and response times are quicker than I ever got from regular public school! Best decision was coming to Connections

As a public educator in a brick and mortar school, I was hesitate to look for online virtual schooling for my 8th grader. I cried, prayed and ask God to send me a sign the school we choose as a family would give us what we needed for our daughter. After 4 months of searching, we decided SCCA was a good fit for our child. The requirement these teachers are required to hold are the exact requirements I hold in the brick and mortar schools of SC.
These teachers really care about our students, the extra time and input they give these students is way more than what I can give as an educator. They weekly lives, then they give extra help and even met with your student one on one! I applaud SCCA and it's educators for a job well done. Having a class of 25-28 kids in my room everyday 6 times a day, I honestly struggle having time to grade everything and meet one on one with my students unless it is on my time and no pay. Then to add to the fire, I have other duties and the stress is a lot. But these teachers begin each day refreshed and eager to reach my child. Thank you SCCA for everything you do for our students who have chosen to do virtual public school. Thank you for looking out for my child. A child that was bullied and overseen because she portrayed to have it together, when actually she was fallen apart.

I joined this school in late 2021 as a sophomore and I'm a junior (11th) now and I wouldn't ever consider leaving, it's asynchronous so I can still communicate with my teachers and choose to join and I don't feel cornered to do my work everything is flexible but not in a lazy way, this school really does care for their students the teachers listen to every kids needs, and helps them in any/every way they can, I passed my freshman year with about a 0.587 gpa after switching I've passed sophomore and will pass junior year with a 3.5+ average I've learned so much, the teachers don't take 3 weeks to grade something, this school gets students ready for the future and let's them be creative this school isn't discriminatory it's so welcoming, this school celebrates black history month, women month, and more, they talk about successful people related to those months, this school is the best I would never choose to leave, I figured out what I want to be when I'm older and the teachers motivate me whenever I feel a little down, I've become good friends with my teachers especially biology she's amazing, thanks to this school I've become a successful student, I went from not wanting to grow up, being unmotivated, failing, hating school to loving it, wanting to go, I've learned a lot, I've learned self discipline, I've become a great person and student going here.

My son had been struggling ever since Covid hit. He was needing to make up his whole freshman year and half of his sophomore year. A friend had recommended CA Connection Academy and it has been life changing! Not only has he been able to catch up, he's on track to GRADUATE on time! Mrs. Clark (sophomore year home room teacher) and Mrs. Beltrami (current home room teacher) have gone ABOVE and BEYOND! They have been heaven sent and without their positivity and cheerleading my son wouldn't be where he is today. All his teachers have been amazing, encouraging and supportive. I feel so blessed to have found such a wonderful school and would recommend Ca Connections Academy! Thank you for having such a wonderful staff!

My 10 year old daughter loves this school. She has great teachers. This is the best decision that I have made.

We decided to switch to online school due to many issues in the public brick and mortar school. Bullying that was never dealt with, lack of communication with staff, no personal attention. I've been amazed at the communication from everyone at Connections Academy! My sons home room teacher is so helpful, attentive to his needs, and I hear from her more times in one week than I heard from prior teachers in a year! Any questions I've had have been answered so promptly, clearly, and we've not been made to feel like an inconvenience. The program is very easy to use, especially once you get the hang out it and there's always help available if needed. Being able to work at his own pace has also been so beneficial. He can work ahead, take his time, take breaks whenever needed. We are definitely very happy with the switch!

Our family was introduced to Connections Academy through a friend of ours whose daughter graduated from Connections. When the public schools were reopening for in-person we were not absolutely sure about allowing our student back in. When we visited the school our student was going to attend, the classrooms had no social distancing, and that confirmed our decision to consider NMCA. Since then we love it! We love the flexibility! We love that our student is able to learn at his own pace and with the pearson curriculum he is actually learning unlike the public schools. I have always been involved with our student's education when our older ones were in the public school system before the pandemic, but Connections gives me complete access to his learning and I love that! The Teachers are great! I would encourage any parent(s) to consider NMCA for a better, deeper, and challenging learning platform for their student(s).
