We'll be starting Connections this fall. We were with a cyberschool that used K12 which had way too much writing and busy work for DS(8). We received our Connections books and our classes have been loaded and I'm really excited for him to start. I think Connections will be a much better fit for him.

He had to take placement tests and was put in the Gifted/Talented classes that they offer. I was told by another parent that since they are a public school, that they have to recognize GIEP's? This is something I'm looking into and will bring up with his teacher.

I also like the many activities Connections offers. DS is excited to join the Chess club and the First in Math club.

Wish I could provide more insight, but we're kind of in the same boat!
