Full-time, tuition-free, virtual public school offers innovative school choice for 6th, 7th and 10th Grade Students
A
limited number of enrollment spots are available for the 2019-2020
school year at Georgia Connections Academy, a statewide tuition-free
virtual public charter school that provides education to students in grades 5-12.
“Georgia
Connections Academy is a flexible school option for families seeking an
individualized approach to education,” said Brazilia Page, Georgia
Connections Academy executive director. “It’s particularly helpful for
students who are actors or athletes and frequently travel, students
whose parents have jobs that require a great deal of travel, and
students with physical disabilities that make sitting
in a classroom for eight hours a day difficult. Sometimes families are
just looking for a different option for their children, and we provide a
great choice for them.”
The registration deadline is Friday, Feb. 7, and the last day for document submission is Tuesday, Feb. 11.
Page
said parents who may need to switch schools for their kids are
encouraged to apply now. Enrollment is only available for the 6th,
7th and 10th grades and is on a first come/first
served basis until the capacity of 4,750 total students is reached. Once
the cap is met, applicants completing all enrollment tasks will be
placed on a waiting list based on space availability
in the student’s grade and the task completion date.

Georgia
Connections Academy also offers a virtual school tour and several
online sessions from a family who chose an online school. They will
answer
questions and share information how online school transformed learning
for their family, what it’s like, and what it means to be a Learning
Coach. The 45-minute, parent-led sessions are at 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan.
22; Monday, Jan. 27; and Wednesday, Jan. 29.
