Willamette Connections Academy’s highly-skilled teachers work one-on-one with students to develop learning plans customized to the specific needs of each child to match their needs and capabilities. Parents or other trusted adults serve as “Learning Coaches” and are active members of their child’s learning helping them to define goals, keep them on track and monitor daily progress.

Each student who comes to Willamette Connections Academy has their own interests, needs and education histories. The online program offers more schedule flexibility for students who have health issues or activities outside school. Other students benefit from the ability to work at a different pace from their peers or want more individualized attention and support from teachers.
