Whether your student has a clear idea of what they want to do after high school or is just starting to figure out their goals, Connections Academy® is passionate about helping our students feel confident and prepared to take on the future. Our unique college prep and career offerings are designed to give the knowledge, skills, and connections students need to succeed long after graduation.
Offered to middle and high school students in select states, our career-readiness offering is designed to help students thrive, whether in college or in the job field. Participants complete traditional courses as well as industry-leading electives focused on in-demand and growing career fields, and can engage in meaningful experiences through our partnerships with top companies, organizations, and higher education institutions.
Earning a college degree is a great way for students to explore their passions and prepare for a successful career. And at Connections Academy, we’re dedicated to preparing students for the road ahead. Our wide range of college prep courses include honors and Advanced Placement® courses, as well as extracurricular opportunities, to help students gain a sense of personal responsibility and a love of learning.
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.
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.
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.
"We love so many things about [Connections Academy]! It's impossible to pick a favorite. A few that make the top of the list... the flexibility of the schedule so that we can easily work around my son’s competitive gymnastics schedule, the live lessons and access to all of his teachers if he needs additional guidance, and the availability of AP® and honors classes (and dual enrollment), [which gave] him the opportunity to graduate with not only his high school diploma, but also his associate degree. When it comes to schooling, [Connections Academy] is the best decision we’ve ever made for him!"
