You will be amazed at how well written this program is. The founder and CEO, Debbie Yakabosky, has done a wonderful job in researching and putting the materials together so that every young child can learn to not only play but read music! Paired with making music and musical crafts that are fun and educational, your child will develop a love for music.

Not Every School Situation Is A Good Fit

Thirty years ago there were not many different school options to select from. I know  because we were parents that was giving other school options consideration because we were not happy with the level of learning our children were involved in.

We had a choice of public school, and pray real hard that we got a great teacher, or homeschooling. A few years later a private Christain Academy opened in our town. And yet we were not completely satisfied with our choices. Flash forward to today, and the most outstanding choices are offered for parents!

Homeschooling was not our choice because of the way people reacted to the idea (we were young enough to not know that their opinions really did not matter). And we did not find enough support or guidelines at the time to help us out. The Christain Academy also did not meet our needs for our children at that time due to their limited curriculum and staff. So we opted to stay in the brick and mortar public school, with a few of our own options added.

Being in a public brick and mortar school had it's challenges. Bullying was evident even then, but our biggest concern was the lack of up to date and appropriate classes for the success of our children. Options were very limited and most of the time our children found themselves being very bored. So we started adding extra curricular events, leadership trainings and classes to their day to round out and fill the void. Which in turn was alot of extra work on our part (because we made time and room for), but still feel it was worth the managing of, so that they were highly successful in college and in life.

Today, parents have many options! Besides the public brick and mortar schools and the private Christian schools, parents can now enroll their children into virtual schools and public virtual schools (if available in their state).

The virtual schools and public virtual schools that we have researched offer  larger curriculum options than most public brick and mortar. The one school that we have found to offer a great curriculum is Connections Academy. Especially Oklahoma Connections Academ, which is a free public virtual school available to all Oklahoma children for K-12 grades.

Oklahoma Connections Academy is one that has a a progressive curriculum that challenges the student. Languages such as Manderin and electives such as Entreneurship are set to help your child be successful in a new global world of commerce of the future. Alot of books and materials are e-book based, so they can be updated easily as things change globally. Their Gifted and Talented program, field trips and activities make it a great learning experience for every child.

So if you are just not happy with what your child is getting in school these days, we would encourage you to take a look at Oklahoma Connections Academy today and start this August off on the positive side!
