Online Public School in South Carolina Powered by K12

Did you know your student can receive a public school education right at home? K12-powered online public schools in South Carolina are designed to offer students in grades K–12 a tuition-free* education that includes interactive and engaging curriculum with instruction from state-certified teachers—wherever the internet is available.

The Benefits of Public School at Home

A successful education does not have to be a one-size-fits-all experience. For some students, a K12-powered online school in South Carolina may provide a better fit as they offer personalized learning and the following benefits found in a brick-and-mortar public school:

  • Families do not pay tuition to enroll their students.
  • Classes are taught by South Carolina-certified teachers.
  • Qualified high school graduates earn a diploma recognized by colleges and universities around the country.
  • A traditional school year so online students will be on a similar schedule as friends who attend other South Carolina public schools.
  • A learning experience that balances focused study and opportunities to enjoy social interactions.
  • Participation in state assessment tests and the expectation to meet state attendance requirements

The K12-Powered Personalized Learning Program

  • Personalized learning plans for each student.
  • South Carolina-certified teachers to guide progress and tailor teaching to student needs.
  • Engaging, highly interactive curriculum that enriches and inspires.
  • Dual enrollment for eligible high school students to earn college credits on select courses.
  • Field trips, extracurricular activities, community service opportunities, and clubs.

What does a typical day in online school look like?

A typical day in a K12-powered online public school in South Carolina differs from student to student and by grade level, but in general includes:

  • Coursework in the K12-powered Online School platform.
  • Support from the Learning Coach, a parent or other responsible adult, who plays an active role and ensures the student is on track with assignments and coursework, records daily attendance, and communicates with teachers.
  • Interaction with online teachers and students in live, online classes called Class Connects.
  • Social activities online and in-person**.
