What Does Flexibility in Online Learning Really Mean?

FLEXIBLE LEARNING

A School Day Built for You

Learning online at Lafayette Connections Academy means more freedom when planning your child’s school day. While they must meet Louisiana attendance requirements and some tasks are on a fixed schedule, your child can complete many of their lessons at whatever time of day works best for them, and their teachers are ready to help whenever they need guidance. 

Through a mix of independent work in their dedicated online learning portal and regularly scheduled LiveLesson sessions with teachers, students have more space to tailor their schedule to meet their needs and pursue their passions.
