Over 200 Courses for Grades K–12, Optimized for a Fully Online or Blended Learning Environment

Unlike many course providers, K¹² doesn't just scan a textbook and call it an online course. Our comprehensive approach combines engaging content and multiple forms of assessment that allow students to attain mastery and demonstrate progress against learning objectives.

Currently totaling over 22,000 lessons and 100,000 multimedia components, K¹² courses have been designed and developed for online delivery from the outset, incorporating the best research and usability testing to most effectively present instruction online. Our team of 180 curriculum developers starts from scratch using research-based methods, derived from such benchmarks as the famed Core Knowledge® sequence, to develop each course. Over the years, their efforts have led to numerous innovation and achievement awards from the Association of Educational Publishers, the Software Information Industry Association, the U.S. Distance Learning Association, Business Week magazine, ComputED, and other organizations.

Covering all core subjects and dozens of electives, K¹² courses address the different ways that students learn, engaging them with the varied capabilities of the online medium. This includes Flash animation, game simulations, avatars, threaded online discussion groups, video lectures, online debates, and more.

In grades K–8, plenty of hands-on materials—ranging from K¹²-produced textbooks to science equipment, CDs, maps, art supplies, and classic literature—are tightly integrated with online lessons. Plus, our adaptive courses in math and reading for select elementary grades intelligently adjust to individual skill and knowledge levels, ensuring that students grasp critical concepts before moving on.

In high school, graded assignments measure mastery of objectives at the lesson, unit, and course level. Courses include e-books and highly sophisticated virtual labs, with options for physical textbooks and lab kits, as needed or desired.

All K¹² courses meet or exceed state and national standards—and in our full-time schooling programs, they're supported with benchmark testing twice a year to measure student progress. They're also hosted on the K¹² state-of-the-art learning management system, making them optimal for a full-time schooling program that's either completely online or part of a blended learning offering.
