South Carolina Connections Academy

LOVE THIS SCHOOL!
This is the school both of my kids go to. It’s a virtual, online public school. My kids are in 10^th and 12^th grade and are EXCELLING at this school. Their last «brick and mortar» school left much to be desired and I am so thankful we found SCCA.
The teachers are so helpful and truly care about the students and their needs, success, and the education they are getting. I have never had a problem with contact from the teachers or administration — they are prompt to return my calls/​emails, and stay in touch with me and the kids over the phone.
The variety of learning materials are essential to this school’s success. There are actual textbooks/​workbooks, as well as online ones. The lessons/​activities are interactive and interesting. There are «live lessons» that take place in a virtual classroom where the teacher and students come together at a set time to have reviews and Q&As. There is an internal «webmail» system for the teachers and staff to communicate with the students and parents as well as allowing the students to talk with each other and make connections/​friends.
There is a message board FULL of info. Field trips are scheduled regularly for all age groups. There are extra-​curricular opportunities with the Clubs program such as «Pens & Lens», the school magazine the kids put together, or the Robotics Club, Pen Pals, Student Leadership Club, and many, many more.
My son was failing his first 2 years of «regular» high school. He is now a «B» student, on his way to graduating. My daughter faced peer pressures, drama, and even sexual harassment in her old school. She’s now on the right path, in a safe environment, and doing well.
I am very happy with SCCA and highy recommend it.
