Flexibility Makes All the Difference
Ms. Eitner enjoys how well the entire staff works together and how much help they are able to provide. These are professionals who “go above and beyond to support our students,” she says. What has impressed her most, however, about the online learning environment is the flexible curriculum. Students and families have wide latitude to set the schedules that best fit their specific needs and learning styles. “The biggest benefit is definitely the flexibility Ohio Connections Academy provides for our students,” she says.
Crossing the Stage
All the time and support given to students culminates with the in-person graduation ceremony. For Ms. Eitner, it was one of her favorite moments at Ohio Connections Academy, and certainly the most memorable. “It was so rewarding getting to see our students cross the stage to get their diplomas,” she says, “as well as getting to meet them in-person!”
As for the future, Ms. Eitner is confident that Ohio Connections Academy will “continue to provide amazing resources to our students and families.” In the years ahead, she expects to see “more and more students” crossing the stage at graduation.
The biggest benefit is definitely the flexibility Ohio Connections Academy provides for our students.
