When searching for a great school for my children, Connections advertised exactly the learning style we were looking for. Unfortunately, it has not been a good fit for us. It was not the "Learn at your own pace" program it was advertised to be. The curriculum is excellent, but the teachers are hit and miss. Some seem to really want to engage with the students (via internet or phone, of course) in order to help them achieve, while others seem not to care much. If your child is an advanced, self-motivated learner, (as one of mine is) this would be a good fit; however, if your child needs extra help, (like my other child), it will be a frustrating, often tearful experience for both you and your child. It seems hard for most of the staff to relate to and effectively teach to children with different learning styles. One of my children left this school after just one semester feeling completely defeated, while the other is still there. Constant parental invovement is a MUST! The parent is labeled the "learning coach" and it is an essential part of the program, which I enjoyed. Make no mistake, though. Parents are not treated as partners. I was often talked down to.
