Connections Academy is different from a traditional school in countless ways. Unlike a traditional school, Connections Academy is more flexible when it comes to your schedule, making it perfect for students who are heavily involved in extracurricular activities and/or struggle with day-to-day health problems. Along with that, I feel that by attending Connections Academy, the stress of social peer pressure and the melodrama of school students is lessened, creating a positive and focused environment for people who want to succeed in their studies.
The one thing that I would like to see change is improvements in the Special Educations department. The staff in the department are beyond hard working. I feel that they deserve more recognition from the school for their outstanding work ethic and commitment to their students. I also believe an investment into a modified course(s) for severe special need students could be helpful to their overall success in the school.

My overall experience at California Connections Academy was wonderful! I had the best teachers and guidance counselors throughout my two years at Connections Academy. I was able to have full one on one conversations regarding grades, study guides, and classes with each one of my teaches and guidance counselors. Although, Connections Academy is an online school system, I was still able to make friends that I really connected with. Overall, California Connections Academy was a great experience for my last years of high school.
This school is so amazing because the staff is incredible with helping you prepare for the online school life. The teachers are very compassionate and always willing to do anything to help the students learn. The curriculum is taught in a correct orderly manner that’s easy to understand. The atmosphere of the school isn’t something that scares anyone. It’s very welcoming and warm and it feels like a team or family. You are always able to get into contact with anyone if you are in need of help. Overall this school is excellent!
