Virtual School Curriculum

At Colorado Connections Academy, we offer more than outstanding courses. We offer learning adventures.

In a typical ColoCA day, students may follow American pioneers in an award-winning textbook, chart the explorers’ route with maps and compasses, measure the distance traveled with newly-acquired geometry skills, and test their geography knowledge in an interactive Teachlet® tutorial. Then they may discuss their “travels” online in a lively, teacher-led LiveLesson® session and in-person during a field trip to a local history museum.

By bringing together the best in print, online, and interactive resources from leading publishers with our own custom-designed tools and materials, our experts have crafted a multi-dimensional experience that engages students on every level, at every level. It’s an innovative online curriculum that:

  • Builds a solid foundation in reading, writing, and mathematics.
  • Develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Adapts readily to different learning styles and paces.
  • Fuels the imagination.
  • Excites students about school and the infinite possibilities of education.

Engaging Lessons = Academic Success

Wondering if an online curriculum this exciting can be effective? Just consider our results:

  • Our students’ reading scores exceed state averages and the averages of other online schools—in ALL grades.
  • Our graduates have been accepted at top-ranked universities across the country.
