Why K12?
Janell wanted an option where she could be more involved as well as have the extra support to keep Demonty on track academically. Demonty is building his confidence and growing academically with online school. He loves to explore outside, read books, and make friends while playing sports.

Student Schedule
Learning Coaches typically spend between 4 to 6 hours each day with kindergarten and other elementary school students providing oversight and helping them through their lessons and assignments
Learning Coaches (often parents) aren’t on their own either. Teachers are accessible for questions and there are communities specifically for Learning Coaches that provide extra support and share resources.
Q & A with Janelle
Why did you switch to online school?
Curriculum
The number of classes students take varies per grade level and individual. Students in kindergarten like Demonty typically take between 4–6 subjects each semester, with maybe 2–4 of those requiring scheduled, live classes.
The other subjects are completed via offline assignments and skills labs in the K12 interactive online learning system where their Learning Coach can help.
In addition to core academic subjects like English, math, science, and social studies, K12-powered schools have a great selection of electives, like art and music.
Classes schedules may vary considerably based on the individual student and their needs, state, and any special programs.

Hands-On Activities
One of Janelle's tips from Demonty's math teacher was to make math more fun. So now, they play math games together in between classes.
He gets more practice on concepts he may be having a tough time with while trying to win a game against his mom. K12-powered schools provide the offline learning materials to support their curriculum too!
