Indiana Connections Academy Reviews
Rating 4.23 out of 5 204 reviews
I love, Indiana Connections Academy. You can work at your own pace for the most part, the teachers are almost always available and it's a great way to learn. I chose to switch schools after being in an in person public school all my life. With Connections academy I have had the opportunity to work during the day and complete my school work at night.
Connections Academy was a really great experience. I enjoyed my time there and it was really fun as well I leaned a lot and I was excited to graduate last year.
I attend indiana connections academy for 5 years. What I like is that most teachers were very willing to help. What I didn't like were the different platforms that needed to be used in order to complete assignments. What I wish they would change is how limited graduation is. Even though they are having 2 ceremonies I'm only allowed 4 tickets. I worked very hard for my diploma and wanted all of my siblings and grandparents and parents to attend. Only 2 of my 4 siblings will be able to attend and my mom and dad. It is also on a weekday and my parents have to make arrangements with work in order to attend.
Such a great school and Great teachers!
If looking for a homeschool, you should totally come here!
I am so glad I got to do this for my whole entire homeschooling for high school, The teachers want you to do your best, the people are nice, and if you don't do an assignment, that day, its totally fine, they want you to take your time on your assignments, and when you need help, the teachers are always available to respond to webmails, so yeah, Indiana Connections Academy is freaking amazing!

I give it an good rating because its has un traditional way of structure.I have livelessons for certain classes on certain days and I get to turn my work a bit later that usual.The meetings are recorded so I can always go back if needed.Its all online and easy to navigate.Its easy to contact my teachers an have 1 on 1's with teachers.One thing I wish they would change is the frequency of how many test we take its alot at the moment.I think its on the same bench as in person school because you don't have to leave your house but in person school is much better at communication.
I love how I can do online school but still have contact with my teachers! Every day I spend a few hours doing live lessons and then I do my homework after. The teachers also focus more on teaching and enrichment instead of how to do the homework which has made school much better for me!
I absolutely regret nothing about transferring to this school. I love everything Indiana Connections Academy (INCA) has to offer. I have learned so much in the past school year than I have from my previous schools. I love the way the teachers explain themselves when they teach a lesson, I love the LiveLessons and how much I learn from them, most of all I love the atmosphere this school has to offer. I would most definitely recommend this school to friends and others!
Indiana Connections Academy provides an online learning environment that provides transparency in assignments, competent lessons and lots of interaction with teachers and counselors.
Indiana connection Academy is an online school. It's my 4th year in it and now I am a senior. It's a good school and I can say that each year is better than the other and it gets easier. The thing is there's no way to make friends and there isn't much fun activates. Some teachers are really nice and easy to get to contact them they reply fast and some take really long to replay.
Indiana Connections Academy is an amazing opportunity and experience. Students can work on their own, and teachers give amazing support to help students understand difficult subjects. For students who not as social as others, this school provides a way to interact with others that feels safe and comfortable.
I love how supportive the teachers and staff are. They really want to see their students succeed. I wish they had more in-person events for students to interact with each other more.
Since Indiana connections academy is a homeschooled program, you are obviously missing out on the social side of school. That is probably the biggest disadvantage about any homeschool. Otherwise, the flexibility this program offers is amazing and it allows me to play my sports and travel almost anytime! I’ve always been very busy which has made Indiana Connections Academy perfect for me to attend. The classes they offer are good, but you may occasionally get stuck since you don’t have a teacher guiding you through it. That’s why they have this thing called “Open Office Hours” where you can chat online with any questions you have and ask teachers for any help. Another thing teachers do is have something else called a “Live Lesson.” Live Lessons are weekly for each class at a different time and it is where the teacher will go over what is currently being learned in the class. Overall this makes it so much easier to learn and is why I have continued through Indiana Connections Academy.
I really like Connections! During the fall semester of 2021 I transferred out of traditional high school to Connections due to mental health issues, and overall I've been really happy with it. I like the fact that I'm allowed to work whenever I want and that I rarely have to go to zoom meetings or anything. The only issue that I've experienced was with finding information, or rather finding the right person to talk to. Often I will have a question and need to go through 3 or 4 people to get an answer. Other than that it's been good!
I liked how everything was very organized and easy to access, and I was able to manage my workload on my own time and pace. The teachers explained the course material thoroughly and I felt prepared for college after graduating.
After a mental health crisis in the 2020-21 school year, I found myself feeling unable to continue in-person learning, and my grades were struggling, as well as missing credits for graduation. ICA put me on a path to graduation by providing me the resources and help I really needed. Even though it's online, I felt more in touch with the teachers at ICA then I did in brick-and-mortar schools. ICA does a great job of providing opportunities for every kind of student to learn, the types who do great on their own and the ones who need extra help on the way. The teachers do an excellent job of engaging the students, and I always look forward to our scheduled live lessons, and the different discussions I've had with so many different people. ICA is definitely an excellent model for online learning, and I hope many more students like me will give it a chance and receive the same opportunity.
I have had a better education here compared to the other school I was attending. Everyone is supportive, and want what's best for you.
This is an online school. If you are a student who likes to work at your own pace, this would be a good school for you. There are weekly group meetings with your teachers where they go over the information that you are currently learning, and it gives a virtual classroom feel. If you have a question outside of these meetings or outside of the typical school day, you can email the teachers and they usually get back to to within a day or two.
The only thing that some people might consider a down side with this school would be the curriculum. It is much harder then most other schools. This does prepare you for college, but it is very strenuous some times. While I do not have a problem with this, I have known some people who had to transfer because of it.
