Connections AcademyReviews 623

My son has been going to Connections academy for two years now. He has never attended a public brick and mortar school and so far, he doesn't wish too. He feels happier and safer at home, after hearing stories from his friends who attend brick and mortar school. And let's be honest, he doesn't have to worry about flus and strep 24/7 as brick-and-mortar schools have to. It is unfortunate that some choose to send their kids to school sick and spread viruses. He as the option to do his work on his own time as fast or as slow as he needs too. It is also awesome that he can travel with me whenever we choose to go adventure and share light and love without having to miss school. We plan to do online school all 12 seasons. Happy kids are successful kids indeed. I love getting to be by his side while he learns and grows, because I don't want to miss a thing. The teachers at connections academy truly personalize each kids learning when needed for one-on-one sessions. No kid feels left behind with the awesome commitment of connections academy teachers. The kindness and understanding they share is only what I want my son to experience. Thank you, connections academy.

I have all 4 of my grandchildren enrolled at SCCA, my girls have been in SCCA since k-5, my grandson started at SCCA in the third grade, he was enrolled in another virtual school, but with the freedom SCCA gave us I chose to enroll him here also, best thing I could've done, the staff here are amazing, they go out of their way to accommodate, they have tutors (live) in case your student needs a little extra help and it's free, I'm proud to say my grandson will be graduting 5/29/24 from SCCA, I tell ya... you can't go wrong with South Carolina Connections Academy.

Our son is in the process of completing grade 9 at Connections Academy. He has attended Connections Academy from grade 5 through grade 9 and is enrolled to attend for his sophomore year. While the curriculum can be challenging at times, the support of the staff and administration is excellent. Questions are answered in a timely manner and are always addressed with kindness and consideration. We highly recommend Connections Academy to families searching for an online school.

My son struggles with migraines. We transitioned over to LCCA from traditional school. He wasn't doing well and missing school due to illness. Currently is passing all his classes with nothing lower than a B/C. Mrs.Mealing has been more than patient and truly cares so much about her kiddos.

My son struggled in traditional public school. He was having difficulty keeping up with in class lessons and due to class sizes, his teachers often did not have time to repeat themselves or work with him one on one. He has always been a C or D student. Switching to Connections Academy has been the best decision I've ever made for him. He's now able to work at his own pace, live lessons aren't overwhelming and allow him ample breaks in between classes to regroup, and his teachers are available for one on one help if he needs it. He has been an A and B student this entire semester and even retains the information he has learned. I am so thankful we found this academic community and we are excited for the next school year.

This has been hands down the best experience for my child. The in person school did not work for my child. He went from loving school to hating it when he was in person. He came to Connections as a 1st grader and is now heading to 6th grade I really saw his passion for school come back while attending connections academy. His teachers in all grades has been so helpful and provide the resources for your child to succeed. The entire staff keeps you in the know and make everything accessible to you. I am able to reach out and feedback is always provided. It takes special educators to make a child feel the love for school virtually and I appreciate all of you who has help in doing so for my child. Thank you!

Unfortunately, this school is not what it seems. On its main page, it says "oh opportunities to socalize and make friends, but that is not true. I am in 12th grade, finishing up my year at this school and I have been unable to make any friends since the teachers are all ways like, "We will have to close chat if you guys don't stop sharing social links and the like." The teachers and the policies of 'not being able to share outside contact information is unfortunately too strict, and this has and will lead to friendships being broken since we are unable to stay in contact with others in the school, due to the teachers explicit directions of "NOT sharing social links and other contact information." If you are looking for a great place to meet friends, then I wouldn't recommend doing this school.
