“More than
5,100 families in North Carolina have inquired about bringing a Connections Academy virtual public school to the state in the past two years,” said Bryan
Setser, Board Chair of North Carolina Connections Academy. “We invite these families and more throughout the state to attend a face-to-face information
session to learn how this innovative public school-at-home may meet their
needs.”

North
Carolina Connections Academy’s charter application was submitted in December
and if approved, the school will open in the 2015-2016 school year. The Academy
will deliver a high-quality, highly accountable, tuition-free education.
Students will learn from home under the instruction of North Carolina-certified
teachers through online lessons and phone calls structured to fit a student’s individualized
learning needs and schedule. A parent, or “Learning Coach,” also plays an
integral role, serving to monitor academic progress in the home.

Learning
outside of the traditional classroom can be a great fit for numerous types of
students, including those who are significantly ahead or behind in the

classroom, those who would benefit from individualized learning and those who

require a flexible schedule. Homebound and previously home-schooled students

can also thrive in Connections Academy’s program.

North
Carolina Connections Academy will combine highly-qualified teachers,

a standards-aligned curriculum
and unique technology
tools to help students succeed, while also encouraging social growth through
numerous electives, clubs, field trips and community events. The school will be governed by a Board of Directors composed of North Carolina residents.

Families and
students seeking more information can attend a free information session, email infoNC@connectionseducation.com,
