The Online School Program Experience at Lafayette Connections Academy

According to Ms. Lear, “We strive to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment by being a constant support system to our parents, teachers, and students. We’re available whenever they need us.”  

What sets Lafayette Connections Academy apart from traditional school settings, says Ms. Lear, is “flexibility. Plain and simple, the freedom of a virtual setting to foster outside extracurriculars far exceeds that of a brick-and-mortar school.”

How does our online school help prepare students for a bright, successful future? According to Ms. Lear, “The time spent on independent and interactive education is very similar to workplace and college settings and what students may run into in their future.” 

“My favorite part of the job is working with hardworking individuals who genuinely care for the students and their educational success.”
