6 MYTHS ABOUT ONLINE SCHOOL DEBUNKED BY CMASAS FAMILIES- MYTH #3
There’s never been a better time to explore online education—let’s continue to bust some myths that might be holding you back from considering an online school for your student. A few days ago, we busted Myth #4 “Online school isn’t academically rigorous.” You can review it here.
At CMASAS, we’ve spent more than 16 years redefining what personalized, accredited online education can look like – and the results speak for themselves. Over the next few weeks we will help you better understanding the power and flexibility of an online education from our very own CMASAS families, who will debunk these six myths one at a time. We are on Myth #3.
Myth #3: “Online school is isolating and lacks socialization.”
Truth: CMASAS students are globally connected and socially engaged.
Through Student Council, club leadership, school talent shows, and even international pilgrimages, students form strong, lasting bonds.
“I love getting to meet friends from all over the world. If it were not for CMASAS, I would not have met my best friend Cecilia who lives all the way in another state.” —Elisia N., 9th Grade CMASAS Student.
“CMASAS offers more than academics. It’s given me space to explore my passions and grow as a person. As the first-place winner of the 2024–2025 Student Talent Show for piano, I’ve been able to develop my musical abilities while also diving into extracurriculars that fuel my curiosity. I’m an active member of the Future Health Professionals Club, Chess Club, STEM Club, and Aviation Club—all of which have made my learning experience even more enriching. Serving as a student leader in middle school also helped me build confidence and connect with my peers in meaningful ways.” —Iyer B., 10th Grade CMASAS Student.
“CMASAS has helped me make great friends and prepared me for life after high school. I'm thankful for the flexibility and safe, caring environment CMASAS provided me.” —Leo Bauer, CMASAS Class of 2023.
“It was great to finally meet my classmates after years of chatting with them online. I'm still in contact with the friends I made from that one event five years ago! If I have one recommendation, go to the in-person events and get to know your classmates!" —Payton Hudson, CMASAS Class of 2018.
Online doesn’t mean disconnected—it means more possibilities for connection.
We believe every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired—and at Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences (CMASAS), we make that happen through caring relationships and personalized learning.
