MTS Minnesota Connections Academy, a tuition-free, K-12 virtual public school, will host a free information session in St. Louis Park Wednesday, July 9, from 6:30-8pm, at the Holiday Inn Express, 6020 Wayzata Blvd., for families interested in learning about its online program and individualized approach to education.
Families will have the opportunity to meet with Connections Academy faculty, explore the school’s program and curriculum, and learn about the enrollment process. Other covered topics 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.
Connections Academy meets the needs of students and families looking for an alternative to a traditional school setting—those who need a flexible schedule, learn at a different pace from their peers, need more individualized attention or seek a learning environment outside of a traditional classroom. Families unable to attend are encouraged to attend a real-time, virtual information session.
