Move-N-Learn Academy Will Have Some NEW CHANGES for Fall 2014

We have had our preschool since 1986 and every few years, we update the program to offer the best preschool and pre-k academic program in our area. It is one of those years again! And so, we will be updating some of the standards as well as looking at the curriculum.

What will not change is that with us, your child will have the opportunity for dance, tumbling, art, computers and more. Our standards will not be lowered, but raised higher. Higher means that your child is more than prepared for their Kindergarten year.

One of the changes is that your child will not have to leave us when they are ready for Kindergarten. They will be able to stay in an environment that they love and feel secure in. Their academics will be through Oklahoma Connections Academy, but their learning coaches will be our staff.

Be are  excited about this change and are looking towards the future for our students.

So Why Are We Promoting Oklahoma Connections Academy Public Virtual School?

When you blend the public virtual school ( which is free to students residing in Oklahoma) with our performing and fine arts instruction, and outsource the Learning Coach position to our teachers, you now have a PRIVATE PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL right here! And at the minimal cost of a private performing arts school.

Public virtual school also allows you to go back to a brick and mortar school, if you find out that this type of schooling, although cutting edge, is not for you! It really is all about parents HAVING CHOICES in the education of their children instead of being told where they have to attend school (such a neighborhood schools).

Are we against brick and mortar schools or unhappy with local public schools? No, we are not. The majority of adults in the US are the results of a public brick and mortar school. Including myself. And I think I have done well with my life.

We are for the freedom of CHOICE that if what we are doing for our children is not working, we have the right to easily make a change. That we have a choice to in the level of curriculum, electives, teacher qualifications, etc.

So why are we promoting Oklahoma Connections Academy Public Virtual School? 

1.Because of the standards that they are setting in our state for virtual schools. 

2.Because of their partnership with the e-Learning with Julliard for music (and hopefully theater and dance will be able to be added later). 

3.Because of the many different field trips. 

4.Because of the clubs offered. 

5.Because of the commitment of the Principal and Asst Principal of Oklahoma Connections Academy to their students.

6.Because it is a curriculum that is challenging,

7.Because of the Sports Academy

8.Because of the Performing Arts Academy

9.Because a great majority of their teachers hold a masters degree

10. Because it was approved as a statewide virtual charter school for the 2014-15 school year by the newly-created Statewide Virtual Charter School Board. (The board voted unanimously to approve the school during its monthly meeting on January 14.) Oklahoma Connections Academy was the only virtual school applicant approved in the state's first such decision round.

11. Because it fits for us and for a lot of the families we know

Open transfer and registration is now happening! The process is easy. You can even attend an online information event (just in case you missed the special event that we set up just for our students and families to attend this week) by going to http://www.connectionsacademy.com/oklahoma-virtual-school/events.aspx 

Don't take our word for it. Do your own investigation. Oklahoma Connections Academy is not about homeschooling. It is not homeschooling. It is schooling our children and grandchildren for the future.

We hope to have you in our first class of our PRIVATE PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL the fall of 2014!

Public School in a Private Setting May Be The Key

If you or your child are still struggling with public school issues, a public school education in a private setting may be the answer for your child's success.  No matter if you are tired of bullying, the lack of time for family, over crowding of classes and lack of the teachers time for your child, or just want your child to be challenged more, take a look at our public school in a private setting opportunity this Tuesday night at 6:30 pm. The meeting will be held at the Hampton Inn on Williams Ave. 

This informational meeting will allow you to ask questions about curriculum and other questions concerning your child's education. A Representative of Oklahoma Connections Academy ( we are thinking it will be Tammy Shepherd, Principal of OKCA) will be there to address any concerns or questions concerning virtual public school. 

We hope to see you there.
