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."
