Reimagining K-12 Education

Since 2000, K12 has been a leader in online K–12 education, delivering industry-leading, hands-on* and online curriculum. In that time, over 2 million students have chosen a K12-powered education. Through these education options, students are active participants in their learning journey and are encouraged to learn in the ways that are best for them.

Why K12?

Education shouldn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—which is why Stride provides education options that allow families to fit learning into their lifestyle and customize the experience to their student’s distinct needs. K12-powered schools deliver:

Personalized Learning

K12-powered schools provide an individualized education experience through responsive, online curriculum that allows students to work at their own pace. Leveled curriculum including Honors and AP® courses challenge students, and state-certified teachers differentiate instruction through live virtual sessions.

Flexible Education Options

With K12-powered online schools, students can work from home, on the road, or wherever there’s an internet connection. Depending on your family’s needs, Stride has public and private school options to fit your life.
