Student Spotlight
Student Spotlight: Lorelei C.
Lorelei lives in a rural community and went back to her in-person school when the pandemic ended. However, due to concerns about bullying at her brick-and-mortar school, she returned to Arizona Connections Academy.
Lorelei’s mother, Alison, says opting for our online school proved to be a positive decision because it provides a more functional and effective learning environment for her daughter. She says, “Arizona Connections Academy naturally became the ideal choice for her return.

"The flexibility of the learning schedule and the quality of the teachers are aspects we appreciate. We also love that Arizona Connections Academy offers options for gifted students and has the ability to challenge her."
Beyond academics, Lorelei enjoys spending time with her friends and has a passion for digital art. She also enjoys competing in cowboy-mounted shooting with her horse, Ranger, and showing goats and turkeys for 4H.
“The flexibility of the learning schedule and the quality of the teachers [at Arizona Connections Academy] are aspects we appreciate.”
