Quality 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 like never before. 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.

- 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 state-licensed 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: 3 to 6 hours
- Grades 6–8: 2 to 4 hours
- Grades 9–12: 1 to 2 hours
In grades K–5, the K12 online curriculum is mastery based and also 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.
In grades 9–12, students communicate with teachers, manage their schedules, and work toward their post-graduation goals with support from counselors.
