Great experience 👍
March 20, 2024

We were hesitant at first to enroll in this school, but we decided to give it a try. In fact, we were shocked by the amount of organization and attention on the part of the administrators and teachers, who provided us with the necessary assistance. My child now had enough time to learn and be disciplined with school schedules. Which made his life much easier. The program is easy to use and there are continuous trainings for parents, which makes the work easy, and that will help the students to achieve their goals. Thanks to everyone who participated to create this amazing school program.

The Best My Student Can Have
March 20, 2024

My student is in 9th grade right now. He has trouble focusing and without connections Academy I don't think he would have stayed with his own age/grade range. The curriculum is sometimes a bit in depth, but for the most part, it is definitely doable. I also like the flexibility it gives with time to get lessons finished and being able to finish lessons ahead of time when needed. They also give plenty of time to catch up on overdue lessons.

Amazing
March 19, 2024

My daughter enrolled her freshman year and is currently finishing up her junior and looking forward to completing her senior year with MCA. Can not say enough positive about our experience. The curriculums, the teachers, the advisors and overall support has been nothing short of amazing. They continue to amaze me each year.

From before school started to right this very moment my experience with Maine Connections Academy has been excellent. The communication between staff and student as well as staff and parent/caretaker is extraordinary. I've NEVER been so informed before, from absences to information on my child's work and grades. I am impressed about the fact that I have to submit work and attendance is also reported by the parent. Every step of the process is amazing. Our counselor and teachers are great, informative and caring.

I like the workload for my middle schooler, my freshman has a more extensive reading workload but the only complaint I have is the teachers could probably be a little more accessible. Hopefully next year will be better in that regard.

Flexibility and great staff!
March 19, 2024

If you're looking for a learning environment for your student that allows flexibility and employs a great staff, look no further! GRCA has been the best decision for our family. We are currently in our 3rd year with them and our plans are to continue until graduation. Each and every staff member goes above and beyond to help our student excel. There are clubs and activities for all interests too, along with National Junior Honor Society and other student led organizations. Do yourself and your student a favor and check out GRCA!

A positive place
March 19, 2024

My 10 year old daughter started 5th grade with Connections Academy, because of bullying, lack of a positive environment, and lack of learning in her brick and mortar school. Connections Academy means that the parent is more involved and knows what is going on. I see what my child is learning and where she is struggling. I am actually able to help her. My child was depressed in a brick and mortar school. As our first year at Connections Academy went on, she is happier and has actually started to say that she is no longer depressed. High marks for Connections Academy, because my child is now in a positive environment where she is able to learn. Her teacher, Mr. Dominick, is phenomenal with the children. He works very hard to virtually give the children social times as well as helping them when they have trouble with school work. This school is perfect for the self-starter, but it also fits well for a child who isn't a self-starter as long as the parent is able and willing to help the child through until they can learn to be more responsible. I feel very supported by the school as a parent.
