Connections Academy®: Online Public School for K

Is Connections Academy accredited?

Yes. Connections Education is accredited by Cognia, formerly AdvancED. Cognia offers accreditation and certification, assessment, professional learning and improvement services to institutions and other education providers around the world. Many of the Connections Academy schools are also accredited by one or more of six regional accrediting organizations for higher education institutions recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation and the United States Department of Education.

How does Connections Academy support student socialization?

Connections Academy provides many opportunities for students to socialize with their peers and make life-long friends. Students will participate in class discussions and group work in live virtual classes and can even join in-person field trips. Connections Academy also offers a number of extracurricular clubs where like-minded students can connect! Because students have more flexibility with their schedules, they can also participate in more interests outside of school, such as athletics or the arts, where they can meet new people while doing what they love.

How much does Connections Academy cost?

Connections Academy is tuition-free (yes, really!). Just like traditional brick-and-mortar public schools, Connections Academy receives funding directly from the state, allowing us to provide students with a high-quality learning experience at no cost to families. The only fees families are responsible for covering are school supplies, optional in-person field trips, and in some cases computers & internet.
