10 Good Reasons to Transfer Schools (And When to Make the Move)
There are many reasons why students transfer midyear. At K12, we’ll help you find the right fit for your child—no matter what their unique story may be.
1. Providing a Safe Learning Environment
Your child’s emotional well-being is our top priority. That’s why we provide a safe and supportive online learning environment. Students learn from the comfort of home and even have supplies delivered right to their door.
2. Supporting Students With Health Concerns
Health conditions don’t have to hinder your child’s education. K12-powered schools offer an accommodating learning environment that caters to the individual needs of each student.
3. Making School More Accessible
Looking for a school with more ADA compliance? K12 prioritizes accessibility so students can excel academically and personally.
4. Ensuring Their Emotional Well-Being
Many students find the traditional school experience intimidating, discouraging, or isolating. K12’s personalized learning approach puts children at ease and encourages them to learn at a comfortable pace.
5. Offering Consistency Amid Change
When life events are plentiful, consistent class schedules and teachers can be just the thing a child needs. Whether you’re looking into private school, public school, or individual courses, K12 keeps options flexible to simplify big changes.
6. Helping Your Child Go Further
Does your child feel unchallenged in their current learning environment? A K12-powered school could be the perfect solution—offering self-paced study and engaging courses that spark excitement for continued academic growth.
7. Navigating Their Special Needs
Some students struggle to succeed in traditional learning environments. K12-powered schools address the personalized learning needs of children diagnosed with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, Down syndrome, auditory processing disorder, and more.
8. Aligning Education With Your Values
Choose K12-powered programs that align with your family’s values and beliefs to help shape your student’s learning journey.
9. Encouraging Interests Outside the Classroom
In addition to K12’s suite of online clubs and activities, each school hosts plenty of community events and gatherings. If students are in a new environment, having planned activities outside of home can be a great way for them to learn more about their new community.
10. Seeing How It Works for Other Families
These students have their own reasons for transferring to a new school. Watch their stories and see what a day in the life of a K12-powered student is really like.
