Where Personalized Learning Unlocks Endless Possibility
We’re a decades-long leader in online K–12 education committed to empowering students to reach their full potential through inspired teaching and personalized learning. We offer online education solutions that help families achieve school–life balance and prepare students for a bright future.
Since 2000, K12 has been a leader in helping students unlock their full potential — at their own pace, based on their unique needs and interests. The impact? Lifelong learners who go on to pursue their passions, engage meaningfully with their peers, attend college, and build exciting careers.
One size does not fit all when it comes to learning. One student may thrive in a collaborative, one-to-one tutoring environment. Another may benefit from the independence that comes with attending class and completing work solo, free from distractions. We get it.
That’s why K12 programs are designed to offer a personalized approach for every student through a variety of education experiences.
Discover a personalized path to success. Unlocking students’ full potential starts with quality academic assessments early in the school year. Teachers encourage students’ strengths and support growth when they need extra attention.
Explore our wide selection of tuition-free and tuition-based programs, including online public schools, private schools, and individual courses.
Students are more successful when learning is adapted to meet them exactly where they are.
Our curriculum reflects 20 years of refinement, built from scientific research, innovative technology, and deep industry expertise.
Together, we ensure lessons cater to the right age group, cover relevant learning standards, and present information in a compelling way for all types of learners.

PCS, TDY, and deployment can disrupt your child’s learning. It’s not always easy for young learners, but K12 can help provide consistency, a personalized approach, and community support from others that understand your family’s lifestyle.
Every student deserves access to a supportive, high-quality learning environment. K12 is Cognia-accredited—so you can rest assured your student’s education is in great hands. Many individual K12-powered schools are additionally accredited by a variety of respected accreditation bodies.
No matter how you want to learn or what kind of school experience you’re looking for, K12 has an option that works for your family.
Online public school is tuition-free. Most provide honors and AP® options and support for complex needs, while all give students the flexibility to advance at their own pace.
A student’s day might include an interactive math class, followed by a break for sports or to talk with a classmate about a shared hobby, then working with a parent to manage their time for upcoming assignments.
Tuition-based online private school can be a great option for those who need even more flexibility. Lower student-teacher ratios mean learners receive more one-to-one instruction.
Like their public school peers, private school students also have countless ways to explore interests and career paths. While some private schools are faith-based, all provide advanced placement and honors courses.
The K12 curriculum is designed to supplement and strengthen existing homeschool programs and the online public school options can be great for homeschool families.
With a variety of engaging and highly interactive courses, your child will exchange ideas during an English lesson, share findings during an interactive science demo, and learn new perspectives daily.
For students who need a little extra support, K12 tutors personalize each learning session to help your child learn in a way that makes the most sense to them.
Individual classes offer additional flexibility to learn on the go. Add to your homeschool curriculum or help your student catch up, get ahead, or explore something they love.
