(All fields are required.)Put Flexibility First
Just like students have diverse learning needs, families have different lifestyles, work situations, and educational priorities that traditional school can’t always easily accommodate. Online school powered by K12 gives your family options.
Their Space
Students can learn in an environment that works for them, where they’re comfortable and safe.
Their Pace
Students work as fast or slow as they need to succeed, with support from certified teachers.
Their Style
Students experience school their way with a personalized approach to their education and the freedom to pursue their passions.
For Those Who Need Extra Flexibility
K12-powered schools offer more flexibility than traditional school, but many have an additional layer of flexibility for families who need it. This includes a more asynchronous schedule and the ability to attend some classes on demand vs at a certain time. Find out if your local school has a Flex program when you apply!
Why Families Choose K12 for Flexibility
An accredited leader in online education for 25 years, K12 has empowered more than 3 million students in grades K–12.¹ In addition to more control over their time, here are a few of the benefits families can expect:
The K12 online platform provides engaging classes and meets students’ learning needs, regardless of their learning style.
Options for K12-powered public schools are available in most states, and you can apply for free.
K12 supports your student’s academic success with options for tutoring, career exploration, early college credit, and more.
K12-powered teachers are trained in virtual instruction and choose to teach that way.
Students enrolled at K12-powered schools get their materials—such as books, science experiments, and art supplies—delivered right to their door for a more stress-free transition.²
Real Stories – Why We Chose K12
“I do better in online school because there’s not as much distraction, and I get to focus on the subjects that I want to focus on at the time. I get to go at my own pace, which is amazing.”
“We would not be able to do our job if we did not go to online school full time. We are never home. Our schedules are always unpredictable, but with the flexibility that we have being online, we get to make it happen. We get to be educated and do our job.”
“I have four children. They each had their own different set of needs ... my daughter and my youngest son, they were ahead. And my middle and oldest sons, they were the ones that needed a little more assistance. So [K12] worked out for all four of them because it could meet them where they were.”
