When your student’s education meets them where they are, real progress becomes possible. K12-powered students get the tools, flexibility, and guidance to create a learning experience that works for them. That’s because K12 has been a leader in accredited online learning for more than 25 years—we understand the power of personalized education. Here’s some of the ways a K12-powered education can help your student thrive:
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.¹
Students can study and take classes where they feel safest, minimizing distractions, and helping them discover the joys of learning.
K12 supports your student’s academic success with options for tutoring, career exploration, early college credit, and more.
Options for K12-powered, accredited public schools are available in most states, and you can apply for free.
The K12 online platform provides engaging classes and meets students’ learning needs, regardless of their learning style.
K12-powered teachers are trained in virtual instruction and choose to teach that way.
Real Stories – Why We Chose K12
“I love online school because there are many opportunities. I’m in student ambassador club, cooking club, craft club, and LEGO club. I’m in forensics and the National Junior Honor Society. We help in our community, plan social events, and also help other students.”
“I like that online school is very flexible. I can do my work and sit in class in the comfort of my home. I can be done with my schoolwork whenever I want during the day and just make sure I attend classes. And that’s really all; it's very flexible.”
“I've appreciated that the teachers make themselves available to the student and the parents. I can access everything on my own. So access to information, access to teachers, and students having the ability to learn their own discipline has been a phenomenal change compared to what a brick-and-mortar is able to do.”
