Commenters praise Connect Academy’s K–12 virtual program

Commenter 1 praised Connect Academy as a K–12 virtual program that builds strong connections with students and families and offers daily virtual meetings with teachers.

The commenter, identified in the transcript as Commenter 1, said, “I absolutely love the Connect Academy. I love the connections that we have made with students and their families. We teach kids from kindergarten all the way through the 12th grade. Elementary school students work with their learning partners at home, meeting with their teachers every day virtually.”

A second speaker identified in the transcript as Commenter 2 described the student login process and how lessons are shared. “It’s pretty easy because all you gotta do is put on a login code, get in classroom, and join a meeting. She’ll teach us on a sharing screen, and then we’re going on math if I can do it,” Commenter 2 said.

Commenter 1 added that middle school students can come into school buildings for hands-on activities and that high school students must manage independent coursework; the commenter also noted that high school students “have the opportunity to take classes at Sandhills Community College.” The commenter encouraged families to consider virtual learning: “I would encourage parents to have their children participate in virtual learning.”
