Anna never felt comfortable at the brick-and-mortar school she attended previously. Like many children with learning differences, she struggled with the traditional approach to testing. At Georgia Connections Academy, Anna explains, “you are not rushed on tests.”
The flexible curriculum enables families and teachers to approach the material in a way that makes sense for each individual student, and best fits their learning style. “And if you need any special accommodations,” Anna adds, “they are not impossible to get like at my old school.”
At Georgia Connections Academy, Anna now enjoys many subjects, science in particular, she says, “because I get to learn new and interesting things.” For the first time, she is enjoying school and, not coincidentally, thriving academically. “My favorite experience was getting the Star Student award last year,” Anna reports.
