Our Commitment to School Safety

We believe every student deserves a safe space to learn and grow. That’s why, at K12-powered online schools, we’re committed to ensuring that every student feels at ease and respected all day, every day—no matter who they are or where they come from.

School safety refers to academic environments and related activities through which students can learn, grow, and interact with their peers while staying safe from violence, bullying, harassment, and the influence of substance use.
