The flexibility and ability to work at my own pace first interested me in Lighthouse Connections Academy. I play travel hockey and it allowed me to work around my travel schedule.

I work well independently. When I needed help, my teachers were very responsive and available to help. I am most passionate about playing hockey. My team travels all over the country. My schedule changed a lot because of it, but typically I tried to front load my morning with LiveLesson® sessions and coursework so I was available for practice and conditioning in the afternoon. Lighthouse Connections Academy allowed me to work ahead or work from the road so I didn’t fall behind in my schoolwork.

My future plans are to take a gap year to play junior hockey before going to college.
