It has been so much fun for Cherry to incorporate horseback riding into PE and piano lessons into the music program. The teachers work hard to make it easy even for first-time families.
We started with Connections Academy three years ago. A friend told me how easy it was to enroll and how much fun it was to be a Learning Coach to your own kids. I have to say that I fully agree. We took one year off for a charter school, and we are so glad to be back! The teachers work hard to make it easy for the parents, even if you have never done this before, like me. My first year was full of new experiences and challenges, but it was fun. We are able to do horseback riding during the week as our P.E. program and piano lessons as part of our music program. It has been so much fun to watch as my children grow and learn, things I would never have seen if my students were in a brick and mortar school.It was really nice to have all the curriculum sent to me, and on top of that, all the lesson plans were included. What really scared me about learning at home was what to cover and when to cover it. All this is very nicely laid out for you; all you have to do is follow the plans. We love the school and will stay here as long as we can.

Maria’s family has been with Connections Academy since 2002. While all of her three children love the flexibility and teacher support, the individualized learning plans provide an especially important benefit to her child with special needs.
We are native Coloradans and moved from Englewood to Littleton when our oldest, who is now 10 years old, was 5. Even though Littleton has a great reputation for an outstanding public school system, my husband and I knew from the start that we would like to give our children all the benefits of learning from home. We heard many good things about Connections Academy and wanted a program that would provide a challenging curriculum as well as some guidance since neither my husband nor I had much experience being a Learning Coach.We are now starting our sixth year in Connections Academy, and this year our fifth grader, our second grader and our little Kindergartener are in the program. Our Kindergartener has been wanting "to do school" since he could talk. One of our children has a learning disorder, and we are thrilled that we can provide him with all the individual attention he requires as well as utilizing techniques that accommodate his special needs that meet him where he is at. We love the flexibility and individualized learning plans for each child. My husband and I both are the Learning Coaches (we alternate days of work).Another point I'd like to share is that Connections Academy is committed to listening to the learning coaches' feedback, and they are constantly updating, revising, adding, and trying new things every year. For example, we can rate every single lesson (if we want to) and let them know what they can improve or what we really liked. I've even learned some great lessons in my oldest child's technology class.We can't say enough good things about the Connections Academy staff. From the amazing principal, to the excellent teachers we've had over the years, down to the super helpful technical support staff, which we have needed at times, they are all extremely dedicated to making the families have a successful school year.We're looking forward to another fun school year at Connections Academy.

Rebecca enjoys Connections Academy's excellent curriculum, teacher support, field trips and online resources.
Colorado Connections Academy has been a fantastic experience for our family! When we moved to Colorado two and a half years ago we didn't feel that the local schools would be able to provide the type of education we wanted our children to receive. We strongly feel that students should be enjoying learning at an early age and exploring the world around them. We have found Connections Academy to be perfect for our children at this point in their education.The curriculum is great! The lesson plans are easy to follow and they allow us to expand a lesson in order to explore a subject so we don't feel like we are being limited. Our children don't view most of the lessons as school "work" — they think they are having fun. They carry over concepts learned from school into their daily lives (2 cookies + 2 cookies = 4 cookies). The teachers are easy to contact and incredibly helpful. Our children have learned how to enjoy learning and have become "seekers of knowledge" in all areas of their lives. We don't worry about the "socialization issue" either. The flexible schedule allows us to be involved in many different activities. The field trips with other Connections Academy students are a regular highlight in our schedule. We have access to so many resources — CA staff, the scheduler, message boards, BrainPop, Erta Online — we never feel like we are all alone.All of our friends and family have been impressed with what the children are learning and with the projects they complete. We have been impressed with how easy it is for us to allow our children access to a top quality education!

Connections Academy meets Teresa’s daughter’s need to progress at her own speed academically and also pursue her community-based interests, thanks to the flexible schedule.
I have two children: one in a traditional public school, and one in Connections Academy. Our family has tried traditional public school as well as traditional homeschooling; but for my daughter, I was looking for flexibility in a program, not the cookie-cutter mold that everyone else has.I wanted a program that would allow my daughter to progress at her own speed, faster where she wanted to excel, and slower where she needed more support. I have found that Connections Academy meets our needs very well.I like that the teachers and administrators are accessible and willing to work with us as a team, and that their goal is not just to get the kids through school, but also to have the kids succeed in each and every step along that path.Schooling at home has allowed my daughter to become active in her community, doing the things she loves, because she is not confined to a strict time schedule. She has met many of her peers and made many friends through field trips and online class sessions.
