Schools Washington Connections Academy accepting students
Online public school Washington Connections Academy kicked off its first school year on Aug. 29. It provides a new option for students in Washington to go back to school with a flexible, individualized education.
It is sponsored by the Mary M. Knight School District, and is still enrolling families across the state interested in learning outside the walls of a traditional brick-and-mortar classroom. It is currently open to students in kindergarten through eighth-grade.
Additional grade levels will be added each subsequent year.
