Need More Help?Where Teachers Change Lives
K12 teachers do more than deliver lessons. They build meaningful relationships with students and families, bring academic concepts to life, and help diverse learners change their futures.
On the Forefront of Education
K12 teachers are awesome. Fully accredited and trained in virtual learning, they shape innovative curriculum that meets the needs of every student.
Experienced and Accredited
All K12 teachers are state-certified. Many have advanced degrees plus years of experience teaching in both online and traditional schools.
Trained to Teach Online
Specially trained in online instruction, K12 teachers use innovative technologies to teach an interactive and engaging curriculum rooted in the science of how kids learn.
Lifelong Learners
Teachers participate in ongoing, student-centered professional development that enhances their skills—and keeps them current on groundbreaking instructional methods.
In Their Own Words
K12 teachers share what it’s like to teach online and how they engage, inspire, and connect with their students.
Lai
“The thing I love about teaching, period, is working with the kids. They’re full of personality. Watching them learn how to do new things and have confidence in themselves is always a pleasure as a teacher. “*
Amy
“I notice that my students take more ownership of their learning because of the flexibility. They’re more willing to learn things that they don’t want to and eventually they want to learn them.”**
Stephen
“I’m privileged to be a middle school teacher. There are a lot of people that would say that middle school is the toughest group to work with because they’re starting to embrace their own ideas.”***
Diana
“[Online] school is really great for setting your own pace as far as making sure that your day is arranged with your personal life, your activities, and your kid’s own personality.”***
Mandi
“I think more parents will switch to online school not only for the flexibility, but for the safety. With technology today, they’re able to communicate. They’re able to make friends. The social part’s not a problem.”†
Wendy
“One of the reasons I got into online education is because I wanted to take the distance out of distance learning. To do that, you need to create a sense of community in the classroom. And that starts by making every student feel welcome and heard.”†
