Message from our Principal:
Tustin Connect is an award-winning K-12 school that offers a blend of the best elements of traditional schooling and online education. Tustin Connect is a tuition-free public school and is part of the Tustin Unified School District. Enrollment is open to all K-12 students in Orange County, CA. Tustin Connect provides a flexible, rigorous, innovative and personalized education experience from elite athletes and childhood actors to students that struggle with the demands of the traditional comprehensive school setting.
Flexible – Our non-traditional setting provides students with various interests and needs the flexibility required in their weekly schedule. With our online blended independent study model, students engage in online learning while having access to certificated teachers.
Rigorous - Our HS is fully WASC accredited and meets the rigorous standards for both NCAA and UC a-g requirements. Our K-8 curriculum is aligned with Common Core standards and Tustin USD's best practices.
Innovative – Students access an innovative blend of online curriculum with virtual and in-person teacher instruction and support. This innovative model includes in person learning opportunities in a classroom setting for all K-8 and select HS classes.
Personalized – Tustin Connect offers a variety of options to meet the needs of each student. Students can be dual enrolled at another TUSD school or community college. Students have access to various programs, sports, music, elective courses and extracurricular activities at one of our comprehensive schools.
At Tustin Connect, we believe in providing students a flexible, yet rigorous, alternative education solution within a caring community that cultivates success, resilience, and advocacy for themselves and others.
