Capistrano Connections Academy Charter School

Great school! Great program! Great teachers! I love the program! I have been an educator for over 25 years. It is my professional opinion that this program has the rigor necessary for success. If the parent is committed to success for their child, this is the program!

This is my sons first year homeschooling with Connections Academy and unfortunately the process has been ridiculous. They DO expect you to understand what you are doing from the 1st day with minimal assistance. Teachers are difficult to get in contact with. I have called and emailed the teacher concerning questions that affect my sons grades and never received a reply when the turn around process is 24 hours. Grades are reported daily. You have to download all sorts of software and weblinks and its all very confusing especially if you are not computer saavy. The curriculum is intense in my opinion for elementary children...but very overwhelming. Long story short my son was withdrawn. I have had a very negative experience with this school.

My daughter and I love this school! My daughter has been going to CapoCA since kindergarten. She is now in second grade. The teachers are all very helpful and nice. The online school system is easy to use and navigate too. We're both very pleased with Capistrano Connections Academy. :)

At first it is a bit difficult to figure out the school system, requirements and your own teaching/learning style. If you stick with it you may find it to be a very rewarding and liberating experience as we have. I have a kindergartener enrolled in Connections and a 2nd grader who has been enrolled in Connections for 3 years. We are very satisfied with this school. The work is challenging and can be customized for the student. They offer wonderful "extra" resources to assist in teaching. Our teachers are always available and encouraging. I find the school to be interested in creating goals for my children, offering me assistance in my teaching and timely in any other questions or issues I may have. I like that I can be an integral part in the education of my children, keep them safe, strengthen my family and help them learn to be contributing members of society. With Connections I have some of the benefits of homeschooling while meeting state educational standards as well.

Our first year here in Capistrano connections academy has been a success for our kids. I highly recommend this school. Excellent curriculum and fun field trips. It is not perfect but compares to others is phenomenal!!

Unsatisfactory rating from me. They expected new students to know how their system works with very little assistance. They didn't encourage growth, instead they give daily grades, and if its and F because say a student was ill or couldn't complete a difficult assignment, it can inhibit their self esteem. Their online system didn't work many times which is vital to success of the student. Some of the teachers didn't meet my expectations, and when I tried to request new teachers, nothing was done. A complete dud for us.

I really enjoy this school! After going to a regular public middle school last year and hating it, I tried out connections and i'm excelling both in school and outside of it. I have more time to work on extracurricular activities and can still do school work and get high grades. I don''t have anything that i can think of that is negative about this school!

My son went from d's and f's at a regular school to A's and B's here at Capistrano Connections Academy. Everything about this school is the BEST!!!

This school has really gone out of its way to help my kids learn and grow. As a parent I can choose what subjects to work on. The field trips are some much fun. WE can spend time together as a family.

Capo Connections Academy is a great school. They really work with you to help make your child's education better. They are striving to make more meetups and fieldtrips as well as create more opportunities to connect with fellow parents and students. I am so glad to have found this option for my children and would recommend it to anyone who wants to take an active role in their child's education.
