Connections Academy’s balance of challenge and nurturing support has helped Jalet’s boys become more independent learners. The whole family has benefited from this custom-fit education style.
When our family stepped into the world of virtual schooling with Connections Academy, it was unknown territory to all of us. I had been home schooling my children but needed more direction and support after 3rd grade. Since enrolling in 2006, we have had very positive results, and we feel like pioneers in the way education is headed.Connections Academy gives us freedom in how we learn. We love being able to ‘do school’ next to the wood stove or even on our beds after lunch. On sunny days we work outside. We have taken several field trips to museums and other institutions because they fit into our schooling. The field trips with other ORCA students have been a great experience and fun social gathering. We learn together in our family and are fully supported by our amazing teacher who embraces our education process as much as we do and always treats us as individuals.This is a challenging academy, yet I always feel like we have someone standing in the wings to make certain we are successful on all levels. This support has made the boys more independent learners and given them wings to succeed in life. We feel online education provides our family accountability and the satisfaction of knowing our children are well educated and prepared for what they will need to conquer in the world. It is not an easy school, but the product of the work is well worth the combined effort of student, learning coach, and teacher. My children and family have benefited from this custom fit learning style.With Connections Academy we're helping our sons develop their learning skills in an environment we feel more closely reflects the real world as well as the future of education in general. As our children go through life they will not be defined by the school they attended, but they will be judged by how well prepared they are to move into the life of an adult. Connections Academy provides the balance of a nurturing, one-on-one environment and the tools our children will need to possess for their success in the future.

Heidi believes that enrolling her children in Oregon Connections Academy was the best choice her family made. With the strong teacher and staff support, she is never left out on her own.
Connections Academy is top-notch schooling and a perfect fit for our family. This is our third year with Connections Academy, and we really love the program. I started teaching my children at a very young age and thought I was doing okay on my own, but I realized I needed more. We enrolled our first daughter in Connections Academy in kindergarten, and I was very impressed with the curriculum. We were provided with all of the books, lesson plans, and even some necessary school supplies. The next year we even qualified to have a complete computer setup provided. The support of the teachers and staff is wonderful. You are never on your own, and it is the most rewarding experience to be a major part of your children’s education and see them grow in their abilities.When we first enrolled our daughter she was not reading at all, but within two or three months she was reading well. Now as a second-grader she is a very strong reader and is devouring books! This year we enrolled our second daughter in kindergarten and, despite its being challenging at times with two sets of curriculum, we have had awesome support from the teachers—and our girls are thriving in every subject. They get excited about learning, and we have a great time. We really love the variety of the curriculum, which includes not only the core subjects but also music, art, and activities. Everything in the curriculum is really top-quality and can be tailored to your child’s needs. The flexibility of the schedule is wonderful too, because every family has different circumstances and, perhaps, challenges—and you can make it work for your family. I have some health challenges, and the flexibility of the schedule is a perfect fit for us. Enrolling our children in Connections Academy is the best choice we have made for them, and we highly recommend it for other families

Paula’s family has been with Oregon Connections Academy since the school opened in 2005, and she now has five students enrolled. The entire family loves how the school provides a new way of discovering talents in every student.
I have been with Oregon Connections Academy (ORCA) since its founding in 2005. We now have five students enrolled and look forward to another productive year in schooling. Oregon Connections Academy is more than just a school with a fantastic curriculum, extremely bright teachers, and a wealth of resources for all learning styles. ORCA is our schooling community that provides encouragement, a positive attitude, and a new way of discovering talents in our kids. We have Community Coordinators that present field trip opportunities; we have Learning Coach LiveLesson® sessions for support and outreach; and we have clubs for those students who have a passion to make a difference or pursue a hobby. My family finds ORCA to be the best choice for us because, as one child put it, “There are no misfits.”Oregon Connections Academy rocks!
