Talal
Elementary School Student
Talal is an elementary school student and transferred to Great River Connections Academy in the spring of 2019 because he was experiencing bullying at his previous brick-and-mortar school. He also has a medical condition and is an advanced learner and has benefited from the flexibility of online school.
About Me
At my previous school they didn’t offer courses that kept me challenged. I would easily get bored and lost interest in schoolwork. My mother, Fawziah, had never heard of online schools but through research, found Great River Connection Academy as an alternative that might help me succeed. She was right! I regained my love of learning in this new environment and my mom loves being able to track my progress.
My Online Elementary School Experience
I am no longer sad and depressed about going to school. I thrive with the independence Great River Connections Academy provides and the ability to work at my own pace. I like getting involved in some of the clubs Great River Connections Academy offers and enjoy participating in sports and other activities outside of school with my friends.
The transition to Great River Connections Academy has been seamless. We are thrilled this alternative education system exists and couldn’t be happier with the results.
