California Connections Academy,
a tuition-free K-12 virtual public school, will host a parent-to-parent
information session in Sacramento on Saturday, July 20 for families interested in learning about its online
program and individualized approach
to education. The information session will provide parents with an opportunity
to learn more about the virtual school and discuss the program with a current Connections Academy parent.
Families
interested in virtual education can also learn how students can benefit from
interacting with their teachers in the virtual environment; about Connections
Academy’s personalized learning opportunities; college preparation;
socialization; the role of the parent or other Learning Coach; and the use of
technology.
The
non-traditional learning environment can be a great fit for many types of
students, including those who are significantly ahead or behind in the
classroom, those who need a flexible schedule, those who learn at a different
pace from their peers or need more individualized attention, and those who live
in rural areas. Homebound and previously home-schooled students can also thrive
in Connections Academy’s program.
