Welcome to Arizona Connections Academy
Arizona Connections Academy (ACA) provides a new form of public school that students can attend from home*. This unique program combines
- the expertise and accountability of publicly funded education,
- strong parental involvement,
- and the flexibility of online classes.
Tuition-free Public School for Grades K–12
Connections Academy operates one school in Arizona under contract to the Arizona Connections Academy (ACA). ACA is a public charter virtual school that was approved by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools to serve grades K–12. The school accepts students from anywhere in the state.
Parents pay no tuition for students to attend ACA. Students are considered to be enrolled in a public school.

Each year we ask ACA families to rate our program. Our parents evaluate us on a number of criteria including student progress, teacher support, and quality of the curriculum.
This year, 93% of all Connections Academy parents surveyed gave our program high ratings. Check out the latest survey results to see how ACA parents surveyed felt about our program.

All materials, including the computer and reusable curriculum materials, must be returned if the student is no longer enrolled. Students are required to take all state mandated, standardized tests in person at locations designated by the school.
