We all learn in different ways.
Let us help your students in the way that works best for them!

ESSDACK Virtual Connect is designed to support your local homeschool families and other students seeking engaging, interactive, and rigorous coursework delivered in a virtual model.

Our Connect learning environment is specifically geared toward post-secondary student success and college prep.

ESSDACK Connect is designed to help you and your staff assist all the learners in your district:

  • Districts often lack the start-up resources needed to activate their own virtual school. We’ve got the experience to get you started.

  • ESSDACK will partner with you to go beyond just jumpstarting your virtual program - we’ll provide the tools you need to sustain your program long-term. When you’re ready to take the lead, we’ll be ready to support and celebrate the handoff.

  • Our goal is keeping local learners connected to your district while keeping FTE dollars and student success at home.
