ONLINE SCHOOL BENEFITS
Why Online School Can Work for You

At Arkansas Connections Academy, we give all kinds of students the chance to follow their hearts and prepare for the future they desire. Perhaps your child is a musical virtuoso.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Giving Your Child a Learning Space They’ll Love
With online schooling, your child will have new opportunities to learn and grow. The better prepared your family is for online learning, the more your child can get out of it.
School Day Expectations
At Arkansas Connections Academy, you’ll love having more freedom when arranging the school day. Your child can handle many of their lessons at whatever time of day works best—and their teachers are ready to lend a hand whenever you or your child needs guidance. While some tasks are on a fixed schedule, the increased flexibility of Arkansas Connections Academy opens up a lot of possibilities, whether your child wants more time to work on their art, practice a sport, volunteer in the community or have more moments to themselves.
Your Role as Caregiver
Parents and caregivers at Arkansas Connections Academy are their child’s Learning Coach. Being a Learning Coach gives you the chance to be a part of your child’s learning, celebrating their victories and lending a hand when they need extra help. The younger your child, the more you’ll want to be by their side. But no matter your child’s age, their teachers will be readily available to work and collaborate with you. And you’ll have plenty of resources to make sure you—and your child—stay on track for success.
