Classes
Connections offers supplementary classes for high school, middle school, and elementary students in various subjects including science, writing, and foreign languages. The classes offered each year depend upon requests and teacher availability. Classes are held in the basement at Grace Church, 1225 Hwy 93 N, Kalispell, MT (south of the hospital)
At this time, two types of classes are offered:
Session Classes typically last for 90 minutes and meet once a week for six weeks. Throughout the school year, five six-week sessions are offered. These six-week classes are typically $30 per student.
Monthly Classes or Yearly Classes meet once or twice a month.

Testing
Connections offers spring testing with the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (Grades 3-8) or the Iowa Test of Educational Development (Grades 9-10). High school students may take the PSAT (a practice SAT) in October and/or the PLAN (a practice ACT) in the spring (tentative). Individual testing with the test of your choice is also available for an additional fee. Reading Diagnostic Testing is available year round.
Accountability and/or Tutoring
Accountability and/or tutoring services are available for elementary, middle, and high school students. The homeschool coordinator, a MT certified K-8 teacher with homeschool experience, meets with the family regularly to provide tutoring and/or specific documentation used to prepare report cards or transcripts. The family retains control over curriculum and teaching and evaluation methods. Families may also choose to meet with the coordinator at the beginning of the school year for help in choosing curriculum and/or setting goals for the year.
