Hi! My name is John Martin Huggins, and I teach fifth grade at South Carolina Connections Academy (SCCA). SCCA is an amazing place to work, learn, and grow, and I absolutely love everything about it!

The best part of my day is getting to spend time in my LiveLesson classroom with each of my students. LiveLesson sessions really give my students the feeling that they are getting quality one-on-one time with me, because we really do not have to worry about distractions. During my LiveLesson, I get the chance to do a lot of interactive fun lessons with my students that enhance the amazing Connections Academy curriculum. My main goal each day is to push my students to do their absolute best and to meet and/or exceed the South Carolina state standards.

Before coming to South Carolina Connections Academy, I had the chance to teach in a brick-and-mortar setting. I have enjoyed SCCA so much because it has given me the time and the ability to really get to know my students and to reach out to them on a one-on-one basis if they are struggling with a topic. South Carolina Connections Academy is a great place to learn and offers so much flexibility to our families. We even have field trips almost every month somewhere in the state of South Carolina. I am so excited to hear from all of you with your questions about our amazing school!

This is my second year of teaching with South Carolina Connections Academy. I am a lead teacher, and I have the pleasure of teaching 6th grade math as well as in a new program called PACE Math, which focuses on strengthening the weaker areas of math. My job is very rewarding in that I have the ability to work individually or in a group with students to make an impact on their education.

Working in a virtual setting, while challenging at first, has provided me with the opportunity of having open communication with my students and their parents. That is something that I not only enjoy but that also becomes very essential in order to provide for the needs of such a diverse group of students.

One of the things I love about being at SCCA is that information is literally at your fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We offer a great deal of flexibility, but we uphold high standards with a full staff of highly qualified and certified teachers. I am proud to be part of such a great emergence of technology in the world of education.

I hope that I can answer your questions to help you make a decision about whether SCCA is a good fit for your family!

Thank you for your interest in South Carolina Connections Academy. I teach physical science and physics. My personal teaching experience includes traditional bricks-and-mortar public and private schools. I even homeschooled my son one year.

I have found that SCCA offers the best of all of these experiences. I am able to offer my students a quality education by ensuring that they are taught all of the educational standards set forth by the State of South Carolina. I am able to provide all of the individual attention that each student needs. As a bonus, all of the learning takes place in a safe and secure home environment.

I love working at South Carolina Connections Academy. In addition to providing individual instruction, I have plenty of opportunity to interact with students in my LiveLesson® sessions and on various field trips that are held across the state. I could not ask for a better group of students and parents!

At SCCA, you will find highly qualified and dedicated faculty. We strive to meet each student’s individual needs. We have a great team of administrators, counselors, faculty, and staff to assist our families. I will be happy to answer any questions that you have about South Carolina Connections Academy.
