康纳的故事

寻找更好的前进之路

By the end of 4th grade, one thing was clear to 康纳 and his family. His current school wasn’t working for him. He was struggling in his classes and his family wasn’t sure how he’d be able to get through 5th grade, let alone middle school and high school. 他需要一些不同的东西. He needed a school that could teach him in a way that helped him learn and grow—and didn’t leave him anxious and confused.

Could the Answer Be an Online Public School?

As a shy kid, 康纳 always felt more comfortable at home. So he and his parents started looking at online schooling options. When they found Connections Academy, they were excited about what the online public school offered.

Unlike at 康纳’s traditional school, Connections Academy would allow him more flexibility in his school day so he could take breaks when needed. The school also promised plenty of support and personal attention. 康纳’s family knew what they had to do. They enrolled 康纳 in Connections Academy.

找到他的位置

When 康纳 began 5th grade at Connections Academy, the difference was more than obvious. Where his traditional school expected him to follow a rigid schedule, Connections Academy’s teachers and counselors worked with him and his parents to put together a more flexible schedule that fit the way he learned best. With breaks at the right time, he could concentrate better and learn more.

“I saw a great deal of improvement due to the increased flexibility," he says. "I was able to utilize that to go at my own pace.”

一路支持

In addition to the benefits of a more flexible schedule, 康纳 also received the personalized attention he needed. Connections Academy helped 康纳 get on an Individualized Education Program (等电位点) and followed it up with specialized support and plenty of encouragement from his teacher.

康纳 was no longer struggling or falling behind. 他蒸蒸日上. 他和老师们建立了联系. 他有了新的爱好. And he built the social and emotional skills he needed in life.

“Being a student at Connections Academy allowed me to have the freedom to gain a better understanding of how I am able to function best,他说. “I have not only gained knowledge in the classroom, but I also was able to have more insight into who I am as a person.”

建设美好未来

康纳 remained at Connections Academy through his high school graduation. Now, he’s ready to keep moving forward.

“Connections Academy helped to prepare me for the next phase in my life,他说.
