MADDIE’S ONLINE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

With Minnesota Connections Academy, Maddie was able to establish strong relationships with her teachers while also gaining valuable career prep for her future.

A Compassionate Learner

Maddie’s two main passions in life are music and helping people. With her family being a foster care family, Maddie was looking for a flexible schedule that would allow her help provide care for infants in the household, volunteer tutor in local school programs, and of course, focus on her music.

The Right Connection

When her older sister had a successful and meaningful experience at Minnesota Connections Academy, the choice was easy. Maddie was able to spend time volunteering and working on music while taking courses that were preparing her for her future career. Her bond with her teachers is what she appreciates most about Minnesota Connections Academy, so much so that it helped propel her towards her future career path. 

“I love Minnesota Connections Academy because of the amazing teachers and the flexibility it provides so that I can do outside activities in addition to school. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers here.”

A Bright Future Ahead

Maddie plans to attend the University of Northwestern in St. Paul pursuing her passions with a major in Elementary Education and a minor in Music.

“Minnesota Connections Academy has helped me prepare for my future because it has been a great way for me to learn as well as develop life skills to be a successful student.”
