School began this week for thousands of students across Oklahoma enrolled in Oklahoma Connections Academy, a tuition-free virtual public school. The academy is a virtual public school serving students from kindergarten to 12th grade, according to a recent press release. “We’re excited to celebrate our eighth year as a school option for families throughout Oklahoma,” said Tammy Shepherd, head of school at Oklahoma Connections Academy. “We can’t wait to see what outstanding accomplishments our students are going to achieve in the 2018-2019 school year and beyond.” More parents have enrolled their children in online schooling in recent years due to an increased emphasis on digital literacy and tailored academic programs, according to the academy.
