Preparing Online School Students for Graduation

Rhode Island Connections Academy provides in-depth support to ensure that students understand their graduation requirements and are well prepared for life beyond high school. Students participate in this online program while remaining enrolled at their local school in their resident district. That local school will be granting all credits earned, and the student will graduate from their local high school with a high school diploma. The school counselor also collaborates with the home district to ensure appropriate graduation requirements are met.
