One of the state’s newest charter schools highlights growing demand for online education in Arkansas and nationwide. Arkansas Connections Academy opened in August as an online, or virtual, charter school. It has 371 students in grades kindergarten through nine, including about 60 from Benton and Washington counties, according to academy officials. Principal Darla Gardner said she expects enrollment to rise at the start of the next semester. Teachers give lessons while seated in front of computers in cubicles. The students on the other end of their digital connection may be anywhere in Arkansas.
