Connections Academy has been a very easy to follow program for my child. I have other children in different programs that are much more difficult to navigate. Re-enrollment was a breeze, with prompts to keep you on task. My only issue is not enough parent-teacher follow-ups. They said they require them, but I only had one at the very beginning of the year.
We have a lot of dr appointments and GACA is so flexible it makes things so much easier. Plus a bonus is GACA has amazing teachers and staff that is always there not only for my son but for the parents/learning coaches as well. Love the school all the way around.
Hi Tonya, Thank you for sharing! We're happy that GACA is flexible enough to allow your family to take the time to go to your appointments. ~Alexis

My daughter is doing well and very happy with her new school
We're glad to hear your daughter is doing well at our school, Kimberly! Thank you for sharing! ~Alexis
Alabama Connections has been a blessing for our family. Public school had so many wasted time periods. My daughter has a young child and public school was not what she needed while raising her child. Alabama Connections let's her move along at her own pace. Just makes getting a education a easier accomplishment for her.

Too many different platforms to do assignments they tell you live lesson is mandatory but you get an alarm for not going overall it's just ok

My child academic knowledge has improved a lot. Homework and grades are easy to check and access. Weekly call from her teacher helps her a lot to be more determined to learn.

Thank you for the kind words, Melissa! ~Alexis
From the beginning, the enrollment process is super easy-to-use and quick. The first few days of school were a learning curve but if you do the caretaker orientation and the orientation with your student it really helps! I was more confident on the first day. As of now we completed the first semester and my son who is autistic and adhd is doing well in special education program. His subjects are tailored to his needs. His teachers are amazing and he has all kinds of therapies through the school to help him succeed. My daughter is also enrolled and is in mainstream education. She is doing amazing and I LOVE her teacher! Everyone is so helpful and want your child to succeed.
Hi Tawnya, We're happy to hear that you have had such a positive experience with us, starting with the enrollment process! We hope that both your son and your daughter continue to thrive here! ~Alexis

It's been a great Experience. It's a great school and safe. My family loves the atmosphere.
Hi Austria, We are happy that your family has had a great experience here! Thank you for sharing! ~Alexis
My son joined Tecca 4 yrs ago in the 6th grade. He had focusing issues and had trouble sitting for hours at a time. With Tecca he can be in his room, in the car, at an appt he has the luxury to do his homework and tests on his own time. If he needs a break after a live lesson her can take it, then start work back up. With all the school shootings and issues with the pandemic it provides a safe environment, where better than home? The teachers also follow the students progress and work and make sure they are doing their work. Also, Tecca offers field trips, sports, dances etc same as going to regular school would provide. We are thankful to Tecca my son can now work at his pace and still graduate in a safe environment. Thank you Tecca and the teachers who are always there to help answer our questions. Thank you Tabris.
Hi Timothy, We are happy to hear that we have been able to provide your son with a safe learning environment for so many years. We are also glad to hear that he is taking advantage of having a flexible schedule and completing his schoolwork where it works for him! ~Alexis
What an incredible school. We have only known Connections Academy and we have been doing it for 4 years. We are so happy with this school, every year they exceed our expectations. We love that we can be so involved with our children's education and be a part of this school by attending the many fun events they organize every month either in-person or virtually. This school goes above and beyond and we have no doubt to continue our journey with them until the kids go off to College. We couldn't envision any school more dedicated and wholesome. We are very satisfied and very involved not only in our children's education but also in the experience of the school as a whole.
Hi Fabienne, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We're glad to hear your family has been taking advantage of our various socialization opportunities! ~Alexis
I have 2 sons who have been attending since elementary and they love Connections Academy. One already graduated and was well prepared for college! I have been extremely satisfied with the curriculum and the content in the weekly Live Lessons provided by their teachers. I am actively involved in their education and love being able to view the curriculum for the semester, view my students' gradebook and teachers' message boards. The school provides a wealth of resources which has directly contributed to my boys' academic success.
Hi Lucy, Wow, over eight years! We hope that your son, who has graduated, does great in college! And we hope that your son, who is still with us, continues to thrive! ~Alexis
