Your Homeschool Questions, Answered
In traditional homeschooling, parents choose the curriculum and hold primary responsibility for instructing their children. K12 provides many options for home-based education, one of which is public school at home, but that isn’t the same as traditional homeschooling. K12-powered, tuition-free public schools share the same requirements and benefits as traditional brick-and-mortar public schools. Our wide-ranging homeschooling curriculum is available for purchase, and we have free supplemental homeschool lessons.
K12 supplies the online curriculum for several types of learning models:
- Tuition-free public schools, available in most states, operate like other public schools, and students must meet state requirements for attendance, eligibility, and testing.
- K12-powered private schools are available to students from all over the country and beyond. These tuition-based schools offer additional flexibility and different levels of support; several states offer voucher and scholarship programs.
- K12 is also a leading homeschool curriculum provider for families who want to supplement their child’s education with additional courses or supplemental lessons.
K12 makes all of its online courses available for individual purchase, provides one-to-one tutoring services on an as-needed basis, and offers solutions for adult education and school districts.
As a Cognia-accredited corporation, K12 meets the highest standards of educational management. Cognia is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing excellence in education worldwide through accreditation, research, and professional services. Cognia-accredited organizations share a unified, clear, and powerful accreditation process designed to help schools continuously improve.
Additionally, many K12-powered schools are accredited by a wide variety of respected accreditation bodies, including the Northwest Accreditation Commission, Western Association of Schools and Colleges, NCA Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement, and National Collegiate Athletic Association.
