“Engaging.” “Inspiring.” “Empowering.” That’s how parents describe our elementary school curriculum at Kansas Connections Academy (KCA) where positive early experiences set the stage for a lifetime learning adventure.

Foundations First—Building Reading, Writing, and Mathematics Skills

Based on the multi-sensory way children learn, our elementary online school curriculum builds essential reading, writing, and math skills with resources that make learning exciting:

Parent-friendly, student-focused 

In grades K–6, the Learning Coach is an essential part of the KCA team. In addition to getting a personalized learning plan tailored to each student’s individual strengths and challenges, every lesson includes clear, easy-to-follow instructions for the Learning Coach. Every student is unique and, at KCA, the customized curriculum is unique to every student.

On Monday, Tracy joins her class online for Mrs. Wright's Social Studies LiveLesson® session on Kansas’ pioneer days. With colorful maps and an illustrated text, Mrs. Wright traces the path of the Santa Fe Trail and paints a vivid picture of frontier life. On her own, Tracy follows the instructions in her text and Teachlet® tutorial to create a timeline relating the trail, railroads, and our country’s westward migration. 

On Saturday, fun meets fact as Tracy and her class re-live the days of the Wild West in a field trip to historic Dodge City. From cattle drives to commerce, it’s another KCA adventure in state history.
