Online Elementary School
For K–5 students, the curriculum is mastery-based, meaning differing levels of self-pacing are possible depending on how the child is performing. The Learning Coach, or parent, is heavily involved and works closely with the teacher to monitor student progress. Teachers provide instruction through live, online classroom sessions.
Online Middle School
In grades 6–8, live, teacher-led, online classroom sessions help students prepare for tests, master challenging concepts, or address gaps in learning. The Learning Coach provides guidance and oversight, but students begin to take more responsibility for their learning as they prepare to transition to high school.
Online High School
K12-powered schools use subject-specific teachers in high school and require students to stay on pace with the class each day. Live, teacher-led online sessions may be required. Teachers may also hold optional online "office hours" when students need extra help. Courses may be offered in a variety of levels, such as honors, AP®, and credit recovery. Learning Coach involvement varies based on the student’s motivation and abilities.
What does a typical online schooling day look like?
Visit K12'S A Day in the Life website to find out. Through engaging videos, images, and timelines, you'll see what individualized online learning looks like on an average day in the lives of three very different students—Zachary (5th grade), Elayna (7th grade), Paola (11th grade)—and their parents.
You’ll hear about Zachary’s passion for rocks and minerals, watch Elayna work on a science lab (one of her favorite lessons), and see how Paola’s K12 creative writing class is helping her work toward her goal of being a published writer.
Tuition-free, K12-powered online schools are working for these students. They could work for your child, too!
