For 16-year-old Breckenridge resident Kaitlynn Sockett, participating in high school via online classes makes sense. The teenager is a competitive skier, and the format allows her time to practice in Summit County, as well travel to Europe to compete. “I was going to school over in Vail, and the traveling didn’t give me the time to train that I needed,” she said. Sockett, who is going into her junior year, attends the Colorado Connections Academy, a tuition-free, fully accredited virtual public school. The school is available to students in grades K-12 who reside anywhere in Colorado.
