Arizona Connections Academy Opens Enrollment for 2021-22

Gilbert, Ariz. – Arizona Connections Academy has officially opened enrollment for the 2021-22 school year, and Arizona families are welcome to learn more about the school and enroll. Since 2003, families throughout Arizona have turned to Arizona Connections Academy a tuition-free statewide online public school for K-12 students, for its high-quality learning experience in a safe, virtual learning environment. Each year, Arizona Connections Academy parents provide feedback in a Parent Satisfaction Survey, and in 2020, 96% of parents agree their children are satisfied with the program.

“Our students find academic success comes first from relationships. Over the years, we’ve found that students learn more when they know and trust their teachers. This is especially true when their parents and teachers collaborate on how best to meet their needs,” said Arizona Connections Academy’s School Leader, Heather Noto. “The teachers and staff at our school understand this need and enjoy the opportunity to build these relationships through regular contact with students and parents. I am thrilled that I have been able to see these lifelong connections being made as students become well-rounded and resourceful individuals.”

Arizona Connections Academy is in its 18th year providing students a welcoming and distraction-free learning environment and serves over 3,500 students in grades K-12 across the state. The school offers learning plans that are flexible and can be uniquely tailored to match a child’s needs and abilities. Arizona Connections Academy’s state-certified teachers work hard to foster meaningful connections by providing individualized student attention and a positive, engaging learning environment. Students have regular opportunities to share ideas, compare experiences, and have fun learning with their peers through online classroom sessions.

Virtual school is a great fit for a variety of students and each student is unique. Arizona Connections Academy students are diverse and come from all different backgrounds and educational histories. Some students are academically advanced and struggle in a traditional school setting, while some prefer to learn at their own pace. Other students may be experiencing health challenges or bullying, while others are athletes or performers who require a flexible learning schedule.

“Arizona Connections Academy has absolutely delivered on flexibility and I’ve had more contact with my girls’ teachers this year than I’ve ever had in traditional school. The check-ins and communication we’ve had with the teachers have been far superior,” said Arizona Connections Academy parent and learning coach, Geoff Hall. Geoff’s daughters Ashlyn (7th grade) and Emerson (3rd grade) are both in their first year at Arizona Connections Academy.

With Arizona Connections Academy, parents are core members of their child’s learning team and an integral part of how online school works.
