What is it Like to Attend Online Public School?
As the end of the school year approaches, do you feel your child may need a change in the fall? Now's the time to explore different options!
MTS Minnesota Connections Academy, a tuition-free, K-12 virtual public school will host a free Information Session in Minnetonka, Thursday, May 5, from 6:30-8pm, at the Hampton Inn and Suites Minneapolis West/Minnetonka, 10600 Wayzata Blvd., for families interested in learning about its online program and individualized approach to education.
Families will meet with faculty, hear how the program works, explore its curriculum, and learn how to enroll. Other topics include: How teachers interact with students in a virtual environment, personalized learning opportunities, college preparation, community experiences and socialization, the role of the parent or other Learning Coach, and the use of technology.
Minnesota Connections Academy is designed to meet the needs of students and their families who are looking for a unique public school option—those who need a flexible schedule, learn at a different pace from their peers, need more individualized attention or live in isolated rural settings. Homebound and previously home-schooled students can also thrive in the program. Enrollment for the 2016-17 school year is underway. Real-time, virtual information sessions and parent panels are also being offered. For a complete schedule of events and to RSVP, visit www.ConnectionsAcademy.com/MTSMCAevents.
