"Connections Academy-supported schools serve kids in states around the U.S. in grades K-12 with a high-quality, tuition-free education. Recently, there has been a surge in applications at Connections Academy full-time online schools for grades K-12 (up 61% in the first half of 2020 compared to 2019), and it’s not hard to understand why.

In a typical school year they host several in-person field trips, including a back-to-school trip in the Fall. All that changed because of the pandemic. “It’s not the in-person experience, but it’s still a way to keep that momentum going and to build those relationships,” explained Dunlap. “It’s cool to be able to continue that aspect of things and build those relationships,”
