Minnesota Connections Academy Celebrates School Choice Week
Jan. 22-28 is National School Choice Week, celebrating the opportunity to choose a student's best path for a bright and successful future.

National School Choice Week (NSCW), Jan. 22-28, is a celebration of education and the recognition that every child learns differently. Parents, students, and educators in Minnesota have much to celebrate with vast education options to choose from, including brick-and-mortar public schools, private schools, magnet schools, charter schools, and online public schools, such as MTS Minnesota Connections Academy.
A new nationwide poll by the American Federation for Children found 68 percent of adults supportive of school choice, recognizing that our education system is no longer one-size-fits-all. Available to K-12 students across the state, Minnesota Connections Academy is a school of choice, offering students greater flexibility, more one-on-one attention, a home learning environment, and other individualized learning opportunities.
Families are encouraged to do their homework on the many education alternatives available in Minnesota. You have the ability to choose the best path for a bright and successful future for your student or students.
