Hear What People Are Saying
“I used to think that I wasn't smart, I wasn't gifted, per se. So after I got my first B in eighth grade, I just knew it. I can do it. … I can do many things.”
“[K12] gives us the opportunity to empower them, to uplift them, and to also pour into them what we were not able to do when they were in brick-and-mortar schools.“
"The school provides ... us that freedom and flexibility to take field trips, to explore, to have hands-on activities, and then to give them the core curriculum that they need for education."
