Overview Field Trips Clubs & Activities Military Family Support Graduation Community OVERVIEW All the Ways Online Students Come Together Connecting with other students at school and in the local community is a big part of what makes Connections Academy® so enriching. Your child will love all the opportunities they have to make new friends and explore their passions. In addition to meeting with their fellow students in LiveLesson® sessions and collaborating with them on school projects, your child can join many other activities. Our virtual clubs for students give your child the chance to meet up with students with similar interests. When available, in-person field trips bring students together for great learning experiences. And the more flexible schedule gives your child time to play sports, pursue art, volunteer or do anything else they enjoy in their community. FIELD TRIPS A World to Discover There is so much to see and do all over America. And our voluntary field trips give your child a chance to experience the amazing places that are closest to home. From historical sites to zoos, museums, the great outdoors and so much more, your child can go on adventures alongside their fellow students, exploring, learning and having fun together.
