Meet Evy
I have been at Minnesota Connections Academy since kindergarten. It has been such a great experience with flexibility that works for our busy schedules. I've received great support from counselors when I’ve needed it. The schedule and curriculum are fantastic and teacher support has been wonderful!
My Online School Experience
Science is one of my favorite subjects, and I’m also part of National Junior Honor Society. I took sign language before and it was so much fun. I’m really happy it was offered. My relationships with my teachers are pretty good. I haven’t had too many questions this year, but in previous years they have always been reliable, easy to talk to, and so supportive.
I love that Minnesota Connections Academy gives me the flexibility to plan my day. I dance twice a week, and I also enjoy crocheting, going to church each week, and volunteering there when help is needed. I like hanging out with my friends or chatting and playing games with them online. Because of the flexibility, I’m able to adjust my schedule around the things I enjoy.

Fun Moments
One of my favorite memories was going to Feed My Starving Children for NJHS. I go there with my church as well, and I have so many fun memories. I also love when we have in-person field trips.

"I love Minnesota Connections Academy because it provides such a flexible schedule so I can still do other things I love throughout the day or week and I’m still able to stay on top of school or take it with me if I have to be somewhere."
