Are there Different Kinds of Online Public Schools?

Yes, there are several kinds of free public schools online to meet the needs and preferences of various families. Stride K12 supports public schools in states across the country for grade levels from kindergarten through 12th grade.

How much does online public school cost?

Absolutely nothing! Stride K12-powered public schools are tuition-free online public schools, meaning they are free for students.

What is the time commitment for online public school?

Online schools require the same amount of time as a traditional school, which is between 5–6 hours per day. These days include both online and offline learning.

Do free online public schools give high school students diplomas?

Yes! All Stride K12-powered high schools are accredited, offering graduates formal high school diplomas that provide the same credentials as if they had earned them at a brick-and-mortar high school.

How involved are parents when their child attends public school at home?

Parents or other responsible adults act as their student’s learning coaches throughout their online education. In younger grades, the time commitment is higher. But as their student grows and becomes a more independent learner, the parent’s role becomes less involved.
