Why I Became an Educator
“I became an educator mainly to be a part of students’ personal and educational growth and to help formulate their academic strength to support their pursuits in life.
The Online School Experience at California Connections Academy
The thing I love most is the individual approach we can give to each student as we focus on their individual needs.
Teachers and staff collaborate to continuously improve our school so we can fulfill a need for families and students they may not be able to receive elsewhere – flexibility, one-on-one support, a safe environment, and more.
