Note: this event will run from 6 - 8:30 p.m.
California Connections Academy, a tuition-free virtual
public school, will host a free information session for families interested in learning
about its online program and individualized approach to education.
The non-traditional learning environment can be a
great fit for all types of students including those who are significantly ahead
or behind in the classroom, those who need a flexible schedule or learn at a
different pace from their peers, and those who need more individualized
attention or live in isolated rural settings. Homebound and previously
home-schooled students can also thrive in Connections Academy’s program.

covered include: how teachers interact with students in the virtual
environment, personalized learning opportunities including options for accelerated
learning and gifted programs, college preparation, socialization, the role of
the parent or other Learning Coach, and the use of technology.
