Why I Became an Educator
I decided to become an educator to make a difference in the lives of children and to give hope to individuals with disabilities. What I especially love about working with students at Georgia Connections Academy is watching them find a place where they can grow and learn without boundaries.
My favorite part of the job is helping students reach their goals, whether it’s graduation or reading for the first time.
The Online School Experience at Georgia Connections Academy
This school’s virtual environment allows for a unique learning experience that includes flexibility in learning style and an online experience that will benefit students later in life.
Georgia Connections Academy helps prepare students for a bright future by really believing in them. We help create lifelong goals and support our students to help each of them feel successful.
