Why I Became an Educator
My parents were both educators and I loved going to the school with them. In high school, I had the opportunity to work in the special ed room and I fell in love with the students. I knew from then on that I wanted to be a special ed teacher, so I worked as a special ed para-professional throughout college.
"WYCA helps prepare students for a successful future by giving them the tools they need to succeed."

The Online School Experience at Wyoming Connections Academy
WYCA helps prepare students for a successful future by giving them the tools they need to succeed. There are a variety of different courses to choose from so they can start thinking about what they want to do when they graduate. The connection that I have with my students and their Learning Coaches is so great. I would not be able to build a relationship with my students like I do at WYCA if I worked in a bricks-and-mortar school. This is an awesome school! You will not regret your decision to enroll with WYCA.
