The Connect Charter School
Connect is a great place for middle school kids. I worked there temporarily and never once felt like a stranger. Their staff is so friendly, competent and 100% dedicated to the kids and they provide wonderful enrichment programs. We had our son put our three year old grandson on their waiting list!

The Connect Charter School
Connect Charter School is a wonderful school. The staff takes their time and gets to know the students. My son is in 7th grade and loves the challenge. They are teaching him organizational skill and the importance of being responsible for himself. Part of being a student at Connect is learning how to work in a group, being a leader or a team member everyone still contributes. I am constantly surprised by the quality and professionalism of the school and staff.

The Connect Charter School
Connect is a very challenging school for kids. I have found that all of the teachers care about my child and are willing to put in the time to help him if he asks for help. The school is wonderful. Yes, they stress academics. Yes, they are strict. That is part of forging a responsible student who takes his responibilities seriously.
