Arizona Connections Academy

I'm a recent High School graduate at this online Charter school that is publicly funded. If you want to make an investment into your child's future success then this school is the yellow brick road to do so. The curriculum is amazing and rigorous where each student gets actual feedback of encouragement from teachers on their projects. AP and Honor classes are also offered. The teachers are always supportive and open to help. They offer one-on-one sessions where you go into an online virtual room and talk to a teacher with a headset. Then he/she shares her screen and walks you through every question or problem you are having whatever it may be; which was great for me because I am a very visual learner. In addition you can talk to your teachers over the phone or through emails. They also map out your student's progress in school and show you goals to reach through their "Progression Plan" model. This school also gives you the opportunity to attend numerous field trips throughout the year(optional). More so than regularly brick-and-mortal public schools. If you want to avoid the drama of the horrible condition brick-and-mortal Arizona public schools are in with students doing drugs, fights, bullying and kids showing up to school just to interrupt the learning of others then this is your escape. This school is fully accredited and recognized as their website says. I joined the Air Force directly after graduating and this school gave me the skills and knowledge to score high enough on the military entrance exam to be qualified for any enlistee job that I desired. My recruiter was also able to quickly look up my school through his military database and to see if it was accredited since the military only accepts High School diplomas from accredited High Schools.

This school is the BEST. They have Honors courses and AP courses. The classes are really challenging in the way of amount of work. I would also mention that the teachers are helpful and are always there to help. I would highly recommend this school for students who like challenges, want to learn, and don't mind having a mild amount of work.

There is a bit more work than a general school, but I think that's a good thing because it gets students working. This school is good quality and I enjoyed it.
