Great River Connections Academy Opens Enrollment for 2022-23

Great River Connections Academy (GRCA), a tuition-free, full-time K-12 virtual school, officially opened enrollment for the 2022-23 academic year and invites families to enroll their students in the trusted online program.

Learning from home or anywhere there is an Internet connection, Great River Connections Academy provides students an online education that is tailored to their individual needs. The combination of state-certified teachers focused on academics and social and emotional well-being, a proven curriculum and a nurturing, safe academic environment prepares students to thrive in a changing world.

Great River Connections currently serves hundreds of students from all over the state who have a variety of needs. Some need more schedule flexibility due to health issues or activities outside of school. Other students benefit from the ability to work at their own individual pace with learning plans tailored to match their interests and capabilities. Through the personal, one-on-one attention they receive from teachers, students stay motivated and engaged.

“Our online school serves a unique population of students, and I’m grateful parents and caretakers in Ohio have found this highly individualized learning environment empowers their children to succeed,” said Jason Swinehart, Great River Connections Academy School Leader. “We are excited and proud to continue to provide our students the opportunity to thrive academically and grow socially and emotionally into well-rounded, confident adults.”

In 2018, Joseph and Rose Lynn, of Salem, were among the first families to enroll their children in Great River Connections Academy when the school first started serving students. According to Rose, they chose the full-time online school because as local small business owners they found the flexible schedule enabled their family to have more time together. Since then, all five of the Lynn children have attended Great River Connections Academy with their oldest, Angelina, graduating last spring and now a freshman at Kent State University.

“Having five kids in the same school has given us the opportunity to know everyone at the school very well and it has been a tremendously positive experience for our family,” Rose said. “The teachers have been wonderful, and we appreciate how they notice that every student is an individual and how they all learn differently.”
