What if I do not have a computer and/or Internet access?

The school offers a limited number of Technology Scholarships for students who do not have a computer, and/or Internet access and who meet federal poverty guidelines as defined by eligibility for free lunch. For more information, contact your school Principal, or, if you are currently enrolled, obtain an application form from the school's virtual library and submit it to your school.

Does Connections Academy provide services and accommodations for students with disabilities?

When a student's IEP team determines independent study is an appropriate placement and setting for a student, Connections Academy provides a continuum of virtual special education services that range from consultation, curriculum accommodation and modification, collaboration with learning coaches and general education teachers, to virtual direct instruction. Connections Academy provides students with IEPs with related services, that may include virtual speech language and virtual occupational therapy, as determined by the IEP team. For eligible students with disabilities who do not require special education, Connections Academy develops (as needed) and implements Section 504 plans that detail appropriate accommodations and modifications.
