Learning Beyond the Walls of a Traditional Classroom

Learning within the walls of a traditional public school environment has shaped students for many years. Now with advances in technology, it’s possible to reach and teach students in new ways. If you’re looking for the familiar benefits of traditional public school combined with the advantages of 21st-century learning, a K12-powered online public school in Tennessee might be the right fit for your student.

Safe and Convenient K12-Powered Online Public School at Home

Online schools in Tennessee powered by K12 provide your family with an opportunity to experience the strengths of traditional public school from the safety and convenience of home. Like traditional brick-and-mortar schools, K12-powered online public schools in Tennessee offer:

  • Tuition-free* enrollment
  • Instruction from state-licensed teachers
  • Online and in-person social connections
  • Tennessee’s traditional school year schedule

How does learning work at a K12-powered online school in Tennessee?

With support from teachers, the parent (or another responsible adult) plays a key part as their student’s Learning Coach, helping the student stay on their learning schedule, recording daily attendance, and communicating with teachers as needed. Typical daily commitment varies by grade:

  • Grades K–5: 4 to 6 hours
  • Grades 6–8: 1 to 3 hours

How Learning Works

  • In grades K–5, the K12 online curriculum is mastery based and provides hands-on learning opportunities away from the computer for different kinds of learning styles.
  • In grades 6–8, students learn to monitor their own schedule while still working with their Learning Coach for support. The online curriculum includes various levels of hands-on learning.
