Connect with a Oklahoma Connections Academy Parent

Stephanie has seen her daughter’s personality and confidence blossom since she joined OKCA, as she has interacted with her peers and teachers online and on field trips. Her daughter loves the flexibility of the schedule and enjoys being able to focus on a particular subject for a couple of hours without being forced to move on because the schedule says it is time.

We have been with Oklahoma Connections Academy (OKCA) since 2015. Prior to OKCA, our daughter was enrolled in a private school and in a traditional brick-and-mortar public school. We knew God was leading us in a different direction for our daughter's education, but we didn’t know what that meant. We were no longer in a position to afford a private education, and we knew that the middle school down the street was not the best option for our child. Even with a background in education, I did not believe that homeschooling was the route to take for our daughter’s education. I then remembered receiving information in the mail about OKCA, and I began my research to see if this is the route we should take. My daughter and I attended an information session, and she was convinced that this was what she wanted to do. The flexibility of the schedule, the impressive curriculum that is multisensory, the quality of the teachers, the numerous clubs and electives, and the free tuition made choosing OKCA easy.

At OKCA, a parent doesn’t have to be concerned about overcrowded classrooms, bullying, or social status, and can instead focus on spending time with their child, helping them to be successful in school, and partnering with teachers for the best academic experience. We love that OKCA helps create an education plan for the individual child, not the class as a whole.

Switching to OKCA has been very rewarding for our family. We enjoy more meals together, and we have the flexibility to visit family out of state, study God’s Word, and enjoy the great outdoors. We have seen our daughter be challenged academically through the course work. She loves being in the gifted and talented program. When asked what she likes about OKCA, she tells you that she loves being able to focus on a particular subject for a couple of hours without being forced to move on because the schedule says it is time. We have seen our daughter’s personality and confidence blossom this past year as she has interacted with her peers and teachers online and on field trips. She is no longer self-conscious about her food allergy, which at times set her apart in the traditional classroom. Because of the flexibility of the school schedule, we were able to add tennis lessons to our daughter’s day—and she is able to serve with me at church in the evenings. We love being part of the OKCA family.

Suzie’s kids love that they can learn and work at their own individual pace and get one-on-one help from their teachers.

We chose Oklahoma Connections Academy (OKCA) so that our kids would have a safe environment in which to learn and excel. We love the flexibility and curriculum! My kids have excelled, and I have the wonderful teachers and staff of OKCA to thank.

We have learned how to manage our time so we are meeting our goals and having fun learning. My kids love that they can learn and work at their own individual pace and get one-on-one help from their teachers. As a parent and Learning Coach, I know they will be successful and have learned many great tools to help them achieve that success. OKCA is the best decision we have ever made, and we look forward to every new school year!

The flexibility of the program and “amazing” teachers allow Tiffany and her family to do schooling successfully.

My name is Tiffany Schubert from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I have two daughters, one in seventh grade and the other in fifth grade, who are both students at Oklahoma Connections Academy (OKCA).

My husband and I were in an accident that left us both disabled in 2016, so we have a lot of medical appointments and lawyer visits that we have to attend to. At the end of the 2016–2017 school year we made the decision to look into homeschooling our daughters because of all the travel we have to do. While doing research on homeschool programs, I came across an ad for virtual learning. The buzzer went off. “This is exactly what we need!” I started the enrollment process, and it took less time to enroll our girls in Connections Academy than it did to get records from their other school.

Connections Academy chose us; we didn’t choose it. The Connections Academy program is perfect for anyone who wants to break away from the traditional school environment. The flexibility of the program allows the girls to work on schoolwork while we are at the airport flying to a meeting with lawyers or in the hospital while someone is getting treatment. The staff and teachers at OKCA, I have to say, are beyond amazing. They go above and beyond when it comes to their students. If there is ever an issue that I as a mom and Learning Coach can’t figure out, the teachers are always one WebMail or one phone call away.

We love being a part of Connections Academy, and we all agree that it was the best family decision we have made.

Valarie’s children, both of whom are members of the National Honor Society and on the Student Council, are thriving at Oklahoma Connections Academy.

My name is Valarie Moser. My children have been with Oklahoma Connections Academy (OKCA) since 2014. To say they have thrived at OKCA would be to put it mildly.

The curriculum is both challenging and rewarding. There are teachers my children have bonded with whom they can go to for help, opinions, and support.

Connections Academy also has many clubs and other extracurricular activities designed to help your child grow into a strong, educated adult. My children are in the National Honor Society / National Junior Honor Society and are both on the Student Council.

Enrolling my children at OKCA is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for their education.
