What school district is New Mexico Connections Academy part of?
A lot of the things marked above are incorrect. The school does offer live instruction and accelerated offerings for classes. There is also tutoring available and there are clubs/activities offered, even in the summer. The kids are given more and more options as they progress through the school system. High schoolers have the ability to do languages, debate, accounting, anatomy, psychology and so much more. My daughter is currently going into grade 6 in the fall and we have been with Connections since she started school. She has taken art classes, music classes, educational technology, home economics, etc... She is currently a grade level ahead of other kids her age - and I believe that has a lot to do with the strengths of the teachers, and the way that they are really encouraging and hands-on. They make sure that the parents are actively involved and just as supported as the kids are. The school sets up regular field trips for the kids as well as the ability to meet up with other families in our area.
