K-8 Approach

Engaging Content Makes Learning Come Alive

The K12 curriculum brings K-8 lessons to life with a rich mixture of on- and offline teaching tools, including interactive animations, award-winning printed books with beautiful illustrations and narrative, original CDs and videos, and hands-on materials for experiments. Lessons are followed by assessments so you can be sure that your child has mastered a particular area before moving on. Built-in planning and progress tools make it easy to keep on track.

Each lesson is created by a team of experts at K¹², using tried-and-true educational approaches and our patented methodology for online instruction. Our six core courses—Language Arts/English, Math, Science, History, Art, and Music—can be taken separately for supplemental learning or enrichment, or combined into a full-time schooling option. The lesson plans for each subject are integrated, so your child may be reading literature from the same time period as the art or history lesson she is studying. What begins as a story about a king who lost his wife may end up with an examination of the architecture and history of the Taj Mahal, built as a monument to a dead queen.
