Our team is dedicated to supporting our college-bound students in a variety of ways with college prep resources, including teachers who inspire them as well as counselors who guide them through SAT/ACT prep, college selection, and the college application process. Plus, our online learning environment prepares students to succeed in our increasingly technological world.
Explore Dual Enrollment
Is your student highly motivated? Many schools offer students the chance to complete college courses while they’re enrolled at Connections Academy. By partnering with colleges and universities in-state, we allow students to gain exposure to college-level coursework while exploring their individual interests, often earning high school and college credit simultaneously. In addition, some schools offer the Pearson Accelerated Pathways program, a fully online dual-enrollment experience that allows qualified students to take a curated selection of self-paced college courses. Counselors collaborate with students and families to answer questions and ensure courses are a good fit.
Approved by the NCAA
At Connections Academy, we’re committed to helping your student pursue their passions and goals – both inside and outside of the classroom. By offering NCAA-approved classes, our online high schools make sure college-bound student-athletes have the support they need in courses approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center.
