Resources about the Connections Program

Eaton Rapids Virtual Scholar Program is an online program open to on-track students, grades 6-12, who wish to be online full-time and work from home. The Virtual Scholar Program offers an academically challenging alternative to the traditional middle school or high school environment. 

Virtual Scholar students are enrolled with a full schedule of six classes from Pearson Connections. Each of their courses has a highly-qualified teacher attached that will help them learn their material virtually through live lessons and individual help. In addition, students are also supported by our virtual coordinator, who mentors students with weekly check-ins.

WHY: The Eaton Rapids Virtual Scholar Program is a great alternative option for self-motivated students who may have health issues that keep them from being able to attend school regularly, students who prefer to work at their own pace ahead of the class, or students who are looking for more challenging academic courses.

HOW: Students are enrolled with a full schedule of six classes from Pearson Connections Learning Program. Each of their courses has a highly-qualified teacher attached to it that will help them learn their material virtually. In addition to the Connections teachers, students have a mentor teacher on-site in Eaton Rapids. They will check in with the mentor teacher at least once a week.
Virtual students can also come in for in-person help on Wednesdays.
