How does online public school work?
Like traditional public school, online public school is completely free. Unlike with traditional schooling, however, students can attend classes from the comfort of their own home — and choose a schedule that suits their lifestyle.
Through K12-powered online public schools, students attend fully accredited and recognized schools and can work with teachers trained in online learning who understand your child’s unique needs. Plus, students still have plenty of opportunities to socialize with their peers through extracurriculars and events.
