K¹²’s award-winning curriculum and learning environment–people, services, tools and training–is a powerful combination. This exceptional experience is delivered through tuition-free public schools and our private K¹² International Academy.

The key word here is partnership

We partner with parents, students, teachers, and administrators. We enable learning virtually everywhere. In this section, you’ll learn how we put our award-winning curriculum and exceptional programs into the hands–and minds–of students.

K-8 and High School Programs

Whether you choose K¹²’s virtual public schooling or our International Academy, they share certain fundamentals in common. Be sure to review our K-8 Program and/or High School Program to find out how they are structured, what’s expected, and the unique features of each learning environment.  Find out why the whole K¹² experience is greater than the sum of the parts.

Online Public Schools

In partnership with the finest public e-schools and teachers in the country, K¹² has become the leading online learning provider serving K-12 online schools. Most of the online schools using the K¹² program are the top-performing e-schools in their state. And a recent study conducted by the state of Ohio showed that students using the K¹² program accelerate faster than over 95% of students in traditional Ohio public schools.
