Deb
Learning Coach
Deb is the Learning Coach for her son, Peter, who is in sixth grade. “Peter participates in soccer with a local club and also likes to hunt and fish,” reports Deb. “The flexibility of Minnesota Connections Academy allows him to work ahead when we know there are days when he will be busy with activities.
“The teachers are very open to communication, and we usually reach out via webmail. They provide multiple ways to reach out if needed and are very responsive.”
Why the Family Chose Minnesota Connections Academy
“We wanted to be more involved in his school and be aware of the curriculum being taught,” reports Deb. “It was a relief to find a good program with experienced teachers and an up-to-date online program. We transitioned in the middle of the 2021–2022 school year, and it was a very easy process.
“Changing schools has been very helpful for Peter’s focus. His ADHD made it hard for him to focus with outside distractions from the other students. There has been open communication with his teachers and the platform gives us visibility into how he’s doing. … We’re able to see where he needs extra help and focus on the subjects he may struggle with.”
One thing Deb would tell families joining our schools is “there is a lot of information in Learning Coach Central to help you get started, and they constantly offer new webinars.”
Minnesota Connections Academy does its best to set you up for success.
