New Mexico Connections Academy currently serves students in grades 4–12. 

New Mexico Connections Academy is committed to providing a high-quality education that is personalized to meet each student’s individual needs. This level of personalization is not commonly available in traditional brick-and-mortar schools. Using our accessible technology, we connect parents, teachers, and students from home or anywhere there is internet service. 

Families also benefit from the unique flexibility of creating their schedule, something that typically isn’t possible in a traditional setting. Parents are also able to control their student’s learning environment, ensuring a safe and stimulating atmosphere.
