Florida Connections Academy Elementary School Program
Discover how online elementary school can help your child learn, grow, and thrive. At Florida Connections Academy, we help children gain the skills they need to succeed and develop both a lifelong passion for learning, as well as valuable connections with their families, teachers, and peers. From learning core concepts to using their newfound knowledge to fuel their creativity, our online homeschool alternative in Florida ignites each student’s understanding of the world—and their place in it.
Florida Connections Academy aligns with all Florida state standards and is accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), the Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), and the Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), which are accrediting divisions of Cognia.
How Much Does Florida Connections Academy Cost?
Florida Connections Academy is 100 percent tuition free! Like other public schools, Florida Connections Academy is fully funded by the state, allowing us to provide a high-quality learning experience aligned with Florida educational standards at no cost to families.
There are no hidden fees—just like at traditional brick and mortar schools, families are only responsible for school supplies, optional in-person field trips, and internet.
How Does Online Elementary School Work?
Students spend approximately 30 hours per week learning and growing.
- 30% of each school day is spent exploring lessons online
- 70% of each school day is spent working independently offline or with a Learning Coach
Elementary school students complete a mix of independent work in our dedicated online learning portal and regularly scheduled LiveLesson® sessions with peers and their elementary school teachers.
They also spend valuable quality time with their Learning Coach, typically filled by a parent or caregiver who supports their learning throughout the school day.
Through this approach, students can learn where and when work best for them—while benefiting from a strong circle of support that includes their peers, families, and talented educators.
