Pen Pals

Skills in letter writing, penmanship, and written expression evolve when students are matched by grade level and personal interests--all while making friends with other Connections Academy students.

Science in the Kitchen

Young scientists apply their research skills and scientific knowledge by conducting experiments and discovering results in the kitchen. Students view and discuss experiments online in a collaborative format.
