Alternate Public Schooling Option Available in Minnesota

Public schooling traditionally involves getting on a bus, sitting in class from eight to three, and doing homework afterwards. But an alternative option has been picking up steam in the Minnesota area.

Minnesota Connections Academy is a public online school that offers flexible hours. Kids work with teachers online and enroll in classes that fit their schedule, making it easy for kids to do the activities they love outside of school. Students still have to complete the thirty hours of schooling a week that is required by the state, but they can do it at their own pace.

Take Phillip Atkinson, for example. Atkinson is a world class Jiu-Jitsu competitor and does not have time to sit in regular classes. He travels the country competing in tournaments and is ranked third in the world for his weight class. Minnesota Connections Academy allows him to work with teachers and do his homework whether he is in Florida or California.

Minnesota Connections Academy is offering in-person Information Sessions around the state, as well as real-time, virtual Information Sessions.
