Q:

A:

Students may enroll in any Connections class if they are homeschooled. Students who also participate in a public school/parent partnership like Northshore Networks or the HEE are also welcome to attend. Likewise, students who have been previously homeschooled and are concurrently enrolled in Running Start are eligible for Connections’ classes.

Connections Guidelines
All families who register agree to abide by the guidelines in the Family Guide, and be respectful of the Statement of Faith and Beliefs while on campus, regardless of their religious or non-religious affiliation.  A New Family FAQ download  and General Questions are available as well. Our Fees Policy explains the payment process for all fees. Finally, in order to ensure that Connections runs smoothly, every family at Connections is required to perform a job while on-site. 

Q:

A:

New family registration for the following school year opens in April and closes June 30th. Registration opens again on August 1st, and remains open through December 31st. The expectation is that enrollment commitments are for the entire school year, no matter when a student joins a class.

Q:

A:

All current class offerings, including descriptions and prerequisites are listed here. Note that we meet both Mondays and Wednesdays, but that each class meets just once per week. All classes have an age range (age as of the first day of class), rather than a grade level. 

Waitlist
Some of our classes are full, but you are more than welcome to place yourself on the waitlist. Being on the waitlist does not commit you to enrolling and paying for the class should an opening become available. 

Q:

A:

Conversations (previously called Forums) is a way for Connections families to ask questions and have discussions with other Connections families. You are not required to participate in these forums, however, when you join Connections, you will be asked how you want to receive notices for these Conversations. You may change your options later, but you'll need to select something to complete your registration form. 

Instructors may also use Conversations to communicate with their students. Class Conversations will only be visible to the members of the class.

We also have Classifieds to post items for sale or in search of. You will also need to choose if you would like to see these posts and how often. 

Q:
