The International Connections Academy program is a rapidly growing form of free public school that students in grades K–12 attend outside the walls of a traditional classroom.

How does the International Connections Academy program work?

The program helps each student maximize his or her potential by combining:

* Strong parental involvement
* Expertise and accountability
* Flexible learning environment

Students learn outside the traditional classroom—typically from home, but also from libraries, community centers, and occasionally from the road.

Role of the Learning Coach
Assisting the student in day-to-day activities is an adult Learning Coach, who is typically a parent, but also could be another family member or responsible adult caregiver. For additional information on the role of the Learning Coach, please review the Regulatory Program Description.

Customized Instruction
An International Connections Academy teacher works directly with both the student and Learning Coach to develop an individual learning plan, provide instruction, and evaluate assignments. Instruction and administration is conducted through the Internet, by telephone, and by mail.

Our teachers work together from centralized offices and hubs, under the supervision of a principal or other administrator, providing coordinated support and accountability.

Learning Resources
At the start of each school year, we send a variety of curriculum materials and learning resources to students including:

* Print Textbooks
* Lesson Plans
* Workbooks
* A computer, printer, and Internet subsidy (check your school for availability)
