TEC Connections Academy

WE LOVE OUR SCHOOL AT HOME!!

Really, we do!  My son tells everyone how much he loves his school.
He has even said that he wants to stay in TECCA and not go to a brick & mortar school.

This makes me happy.  For three reasons.

1.  We made a great decision, obviously.
2.  He REALLY enjoys it!
3.  I get to continue a life at home with my family.

I'm glad it's more than my husband and I making a decision for him.  He also has his voice heard about his education choices.

What is TEC Connections Academy?  First, Connections Academy is a FREE virtual K-12 public school option.  TEC of Connections Academy is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts branch for Connections.  Connections Academy is nationwide.  You can visit their site to find one in your state.

Because TECCA is public charter school, it's FREE!  You receive all of your school materials, such as textbooks, workbooks and subject kits (Science, Art and Math kits) in the mail free of charge.  The school pays for the shipping.  Depending on the grade, up to 80% of the classes are online.  If you don't have a computer, the school can lend you one to use for school purposes.  That's free too!  But the computer is just a loaner for school purposes.

The school also has a superintendent, principal, councilors, and teachers.  They are all state certified,

Adam Goldberg, TECCA Superintendent

so they are official teachers that instruct your child's class.  The curriculum follows the state standards since the Massachusetts Board of Education is the district that governs the school.

The superintendent for TECCA is Adam Goldberg.  He is great!  Very passionate for TECCA and the success of the students and families.

Just because the school is virtual does not mean it lacks what a traditional brick and mortar school provides.  They have clubs for students to join, frequent field trips, prom, graduation, yearbook, school newspaper, assemblies, field days, and interactive class time.  Those are called LiveLessons.
Daily, your child would log on to the portal to see and interact with their teachers and peers.
