The Pearson Online Classroom is designed to help students get the knowledge, skills, and connection they need to succeed—both academically and socially. Students and Learning Coaches do not need advanced computer skills to attend Connections Academy. Through our Learning Coach Success series, parents are given the opportunity to attend a variety of sessions on a variety of topics, including tips on how to use our technology, where to find resources in Pearson Online Classroom, and more. 

We know that making connections is one of the most important aspects of learning—and we’re passionate about offering each of our students a strong circle of support that includes their family, peers, and educators. In addition to working and connecting with other students during LiveLessons, your student will have the chance to make friends by participating in one or more of our clubs and activities, attending optional in-person field trips, and more. 

Yes, absolutely. In addition to being certified in your state, your student’s teacher is also specifically trained in online education. Our teachers are passionate about student success and will be a valuable resource and guide for your child’s online learning experience. 

Connections Academy gives students the unique opportunity to learn how they learn best—when and where they can. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you will be able to develop a learning that works best for your student and family. Please note, however, that students will have to meet certain attendance requirements, which you can learn more about by contacting the Connections Academy in your state.
