Online Private School

The K¹² International Academy offers K12’s acclaimed K-8 program and High School program , delivering an educational experience like no other. This school is different from traditional schools in that classes do not take place in a building. Most students take courses from their own home with support from their teacher via phone and Internet. While courses are delivered virtually, the school provides plenty of opportunities to connect with a vibrant, global school community.

K¹² has a staff of uniquely qualified education professionals at the K¹² International Academy who provide extensive, one-on-one support for families.

At K¹², we believe that all children should be able to reach their “xPotential”—their innate, personal possibility. To reach that goal, you’ll be served by the efforts of the xTeam: Teachers, advisors, counselors, coordinators, and customer support representatives. A dedicated xTeam will focus on your child’s potential with an individualized plan that evolves as your child grows. 

• Available everywhere – across the U.S. and around the world
• A U.S.-based curriculum for domestic and international students that meets or exceeds standards
• No wait list – monthly start dates
• Learning at home, on the road, or wherever an Internet connection can be found
• A combination of online coursework and a rich array of offline materials (superb books, science equipment, and manipulatives) as part of the comprehensive, innovative K12 curriculum approach
• A completely individualized, remarkably effective educational experience
• The excitement of joining a global community of connected learners with a wide range of extracurricular clubs and programs
• Accreditation by CITA, SACS CASI
• Recognition by the Commonwealth of Virginia as an accredited, diploma granting institution on the authority of the Virginia Council for Private Education (VCPE)
  

For a variety of reasons, many children simply do not thrive in a traditional classroom. These students include those who:

• Are accelerated learners or are bored with the pace of their classroom lessons
• Need more time than the standard classroom allows to master concepts
• Feel they don’t fit in, or are being bullied in their school environment
• Are easily distracted in a classroom setting or have a learning challenge
• Seek extra attention that's not easily found in many classrooms
• Are homebound or undergoing medical treatments
• Are part of military or other overseas U.S. government families
• Travel frequently or are uprooted throughout the year due to family situations
• Are pursuing their dreams and careers in music, the arts, or in sports

Whatever the reason, our private school is working exceptionally well for families across the U.S. and in 36 countries who want well-rounded, academically successful children with strong character. K¹² provides families with the tools and support they need to achieve their goals. And their children are responding with higher achievement and a new excitement about learning.

Full-time enrollment
Our full-time program is for students interested in the K¹² International Academy as their primary school. While the full-time program enables truly individualized learning and flexibility in pace, schedule and learning styles, it also comes with structure, administrative support, oversight, accountability, and even some testing requirements. The full-time enrollment option replaces a traditional classroom environment with a location that the family chooses.

Full time benefits and requirements:

• Online course content
• Course materials
• Teacher support
• Advisor support (grades 9-12)
• School counselor (grades 7-12)
• Official transcripts
• Diploma upon graduation
• Individualized Learning Plan
• Placement tests (grades K-9)
• College and career planning resources (grades 7-12)
• Online learning management system
• Access to student clubs and activities
• Access to thebigthinK¹²
• Personalized orientation
• Customer service and technical support
  

Part-time enrollment
Part-time enrollment is available to students who are interested in taking one or more individual online courses for credit because they:

• Need to make up course credit
• Seek unique electives or world language courses not currently available at their school
• Want to take a particular class but are unable to at the time or location it is offered by their school
• Would like to take Honors or AP® courses

Part-time enrollees enjoy the same exceptional K¹² curriculum, teacher support, and online school platform. However, because it is not their full-time school, students will not have access to many of the components that comprise K¹²’s full-time programs, such as college and career planning services and access to thebigthinK¹² , K¹²’s proprietary online community. Upon completing their course(s), students can receive a transcript for obtaining credit from their full-time school or district.
