The Technology

K12 offers a suite of robust, easy-to-use tools that give you the freedom you want, and the structure you need. The tools include a K-8 learning management system, often referred to as the Online School (OLS), as well as a high school Learning Management System, and MyInfo, a central online location for communications between teachers/advisors, parents, and students.

This state-of-the-art K12 Learning Management System helps students organize their time, complete the online lessons, and stay connected to what’s going on at the iCademy. Students can also submit assignments, connect with teachers, get extra help when they need it, and participate in clubs and activities—all online. Additionally, the K¹²9¹² program also enables K¹²-monitored interactive course discussions and enhanced functionality for clubs and activities. Parents and students have access to their own learning management accounts.

The MyInfo tool is the primary source of contact between the K12 teacher and the parents/students. One of the many features of the MyInfo platform is a current report of a student’s academic progress and attendance information. A parent may log on to the system at any time and view this information.

Students enrolling in the K12 International Academy must have Internet access, preferably high-speed, though dial-up speed (56K bps) is acceptable. Students must supply their own computers and peripheral devices (printers, scanner for certain courses). To access the online portion of the K12 curriculum, computers must meet the minimum hardware and software specifications .
