Virtual School Material Requirements
Are There Additional Costs Associated With Tuition-Free Online School?
One of the most common questions we receive from parents is: “How much does online K–12 school cost?” Connections Academy is tuition-free and aligned with state educational standards. Just like at traditional public brick-and-mortar schools, your student’s education is paid for with state tax dollars. There are no hidden costs! Families only cover school-related expenses like school supplies and optional field trips, just as they would at any other public school. Any related online school costs that families are responsible for are listed below.
