Is Online High School Right for Your Child?
Online high school empowers your child to take charge of their learning. K12 combines tried-and-true teaching methods with 21st century technology for a unique and engaging learning experience.
Meet Your All-Star Learning Team
As a parent, you play an active role by partnering with your child and their teachers — while K12 provides resources, advice, and support through an online parent community. Discover how your student can reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning.
The Learning Coach’s Role
Every student works with a Learning Coach — a parent, guardian, or trusted adult — for support, guidance, and motivation while they grow as independent learners. Learning Coaches typically spend 1-3 hours per day supporting their student, depending on the child’s needs.
The Teacher’s Role
Students learn from state-certified teachers who are passionate about and trained in online learning methods. Educators lead live online classes, monitor progress and attendance, and offer help sessions and office hours to ensure your student has access to personalized, one-on-one attention.
The Student’s Role
While students have the flexibility to complete most assignments online in a way that meets their unique needs, K12 also offers opportunities for in-person learning. Students are empowered to work with greater independence at this level, but still have regular classes with teachers and peers.
Social Connections
Watch your teen’s face light up with joy when they meet new friends, explore fun interests, or find an activity they love. Between participating in their local school’s extracurriculars and joining K12’s 50+ exclusive online clubs, your child can forge lasting bonds with peers close to home and across the country — all while having a blast.
Guide Your Student Toward a Bright Future
Now is the time for your student to start thinking about their future. With career prep and our graduation guarantee, K12 students are set up for success long after high school.
Discover a Post-Graduate Path
Encourage students to start preparing for their future out in the real world. The K12 curriculum helps teens explore career options and discover their passions, so they can enter college or the workforce with a clear path forward.
