A New School Year Begins at Missouri Connections Academy

The faculty and staff at Missouri Connections Academy, a statewide, tuition-free, online school recently welcomed new and returning students in grades K through 12 for the 2024-2025 academic year – it’s fifth since it opened in 2020. 

 Virtual school is a great fit for a variety of students and each student is unique. Those who attend Missouri Connections Academy come from different backgrounds and choose full-time online school for various reasons. Some students prefer to take ownership of their education and benefit from the flexibility that virtual school offers, while others are looking for a consistent, safe learning environment.

Joining us today is school leader Lynsie Hunt who will describe how the virtual classroom has evolved over the years and how more students and parents are finding it to be an effective alternative to the traditional classroom. Lynsie will also discuss her experiences in the virtual classroom and how teachers engage students.
