SOCIALIZATION
Life is not just about academics. Students socialize with other incredible students through online clubs, in-person activities, and field trips that connect peers and turn classmates into friends.
OVERVIEW
Bringing Students Together
Connecting with other students at school and in the local community is a big part of what makes Indiana Connections Career Academy so enriching. Students from all over the state, as far afield as Evansville, Carmel, Fishers, Bloomington and Hammond will love all the opportunities they have to make new friends and explore their passions. In addition to meeting with their fellow students in LiveLesson® sessions and collaborating with them on school projects, your student can join many other activities.
Our virtual clubs for students include STEM events and give your student the chance to meet up with students with similar interests. When available, in-person field trips in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and South Bend and elsewhere bring students together for great learning experiences. And the more flexible schedule gives your student time to play sports, pursue art, volunteer or do anything else they enjoy in their community.
FIELD TRIPS
Exploring the World Together
There is so much to see and do all over Indiana. And our voluntary field trips give your student a chance to experience these amazing places firsthand. From historical sites to zoos, museums, the great outdoors and so much more, your student can go on adventures alongside their fellow students, exploring, learning and having fun together.
CLUBS & ACTIVITIES
Doing What Excites Them Most
What does your student love? Computer coding? Writing poetry? Playing chess? Maybe they want to try their hand at journalism. Or take part in a scientific experiment. Whatever their passion—whatever new interest they want to explore—they’ll likely find an online club that feels made for them. Through our clubs, your student can build on the skills they’re learning in class while making new friends and gaining social confidence. Our clubs even offer opportunities to compete in contests at local, state and national levels. Clubs are a wonderful way for your student to learn, grow and enjoy school even more.

GRADUATION
Celebrating With Families
High school graduation is a big deal. And, at Indiana Connections Career Academy, we give it all the pomp and circumstance it deserves.
When your student graduates from our online high school in Indiana, they’ll gather with you and the rest of your family for a graduation ceremony. Caps and gowns and diplomas are all part of the day, giving your student the recognition they’ve earned before they move on to their next adventure, prepared to take on the world.
COMMUNITY
Connecting on the Local Level
Whether you live in one of the many small towns or big cities of Indiana, your local community is a part of who you are. And that makes it a part of who we are too. All across the state, our community coordinators, Learning Coaches and students come together to volunteer and participate in community events. It’s a great way to be a part of your local community and your online school community.
Parents, in particular, perform a very important role, as they often play the role of the Learning Coach, keeping the student on track and regularly communicating with teachers. Want to connect with other caretakers of enrolled Connections Academy students? Groups like Learning Coach communities and Club Connections allow parents to support one another, share their experiences, and advocate for their school.
