Video: K¹²'s Approach to Learning

To start, unlike many other course providers, K¹² doesn’t just scan a textbook and call it an online course. Based on our patented methodology, K¹² courses are designed and developed from scratch for online delivery by a team of curriculum experts, educators, PhD’s and interactive designers. They thoroughly map out a strategy for how best to accomplish learning objectives, using teaching tools such as:

• Interactive demonstrations and animations
• Award-winning printed books with beautiful illustrations and narrative
• Original CDs and videos
• Hands-on materials for experiments
• Interactive online discussions (in high school courses)
• Assessments to assure your child has mastered a topic before moving on

K¹² knows that the combination of rich, engaging content with interactive demonstrations and activities help students absorb and retain information. To ensure this is achieved correctly, we conduct usability testing to make sure lessons are easy to navigate and learning objectives can be mastered as intended. In addition, built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to keep students on track.
