How K12 works
K12 provides online, accredited school options to students from kindergarten to 12th grade. It works with both tuition-free online public schools and tuition-based private schools. It also offers courses that can be purchased individually for use in traditional homeschooling.
K12 teachers are state-certified, and the curriculum is accredited by Cognia. Some K12-powered schools may hold additional accreditations based on their location and school type.
If you enroll your student in a public or private school, classes are teacher-led, with opportunities for socialization built in. However, the curriculum is designed to be flexible to meet the needs of individual students.
K12 enrollment
Families can search for schools and begin enrollment through K12’s website. An enrollment team is available to help families through the application process.
Once you’ve chosen your school and enrolled, K12 online school works a lot like an in-person school — just virtual. K12-powered schools use a structured schedule and live classes. Assignments have due dates, and there are lesson plans, meaning there’s a structure that ensures students are meeting their academic goals. Classes are recorded, so if a student needs to miss a class, they can catch up later.
Parents are involved in the learning process as well (K12 calls parents learning coaches). In elementary school, K12 says coaches spend about four to six hours per day helping their children. As the students age and become more independent, this time commitment gradually reduces, reaching one to three hours per day in middle and high school.
K12 programs are available in all 50 states. Most states have online public school options, and all 50 have private school options. Enrollment requirements vary by state.
Students need a Windows or Mac computer, speakers or headphones, and, for some courses, a microphone. Required learning materials, including books, art supplies and science equipment, are included. Some students may also receive a computer.
K12 also provides socialization and engagement opportunities. Students can interact during Class Connect sessions, and many classes incorporate group projects. Some schools may have additional options, such as clubs, contests and field trips.
K12 programs
K12 has two main programs: online public school and online private school. The public and private school options are the program’s primary focus. They’re taught by certified teachers and follow specific lesson plans tailored to the students’ grade level and academic needs. Tutoring is also available.
Online public school
K12’s online public school programs are tuition-free. These are state-funded charter schools, and teachers in these programs are state-certified. Although there are scheduled classes and coursework, students have the flexibility to learn at their own pace. Availability of online public school programs varies by state — you must meet eligibility requirements to attend a public school in your state. K12 says that about two-thirds of states have online public school options available.
Online private school
K12 offers online private school programs for those who don’t have the option to enroll in an online public school or just prefer to go private. There are five online private schools to choose from, each with a different focus, such as college prep or community service. Tuition costs for these private school options vary.
Homeschooling
For parents who prefer to go the traditional homeschool route, K12 offers courses that can be purchased individually. Most courses start at $100.
Tutoring
K12 also offers live, one-on-one online tutoring. These programs offer flexible schedules from certified teachers.
K12 costs
The cost of K12 varies widely depending on the program you choose. Online public schools don’t have tuition, and textbooks and other mandatory supplies are typically provided at no cost. Families will usually need to provide their own computer, though some public schools may loan computers if needed.
Private schools have their own tuition structure. The K12 Private Academy’s annual tuition ranges from $4,495 to $10,000 per year. You can also purchase individual courses for homeschool use — these typically start at $100 per course.
K12 FAQ
How much does K12 cost?
K12 costs vary significantly. Online public schools are tuition-free and typically provide most materials you’d need, though you may need to provide your own computer.
Tuition for private school options varies by the school and program but often ranges from a few thousand dollars per year to $10,000 or more.
Where is K12 available?
K12 is available in all 50 states. Most states have public school options available, and all 50 have private schools.
Is K12 a real school or just a curriculum?
It’s more correct to say that K12 provides a curriculum that powers real schools. Essentially, when you enroll in one of its schools, you’re enrolling in a real online public or private school that uses the K12 program to teach students.
Is K12 accredited?
Yes, K12 is Cognia-accredited, and all teachers are state-certified.
Can students enroll in K12 midyear?
Yes, students can transfer to a K12 school midyear.
Still have questions?
Is K12 worth it?
K12 can be especially worth it if you’re looking for the structure of a traditional school experience but in a virtual environment. The programs are accredited, and teachers are state-certified, so diplomas are accepted by colleges and universities.
There are options for both tuition-free public and private schools, giving families flexibility based on their needs. K12 has decades of experience — it was founded in 2000.
However, some parents and students report challenges, including limited teacher support, communication issues and a heavy workload. Others mention difficulties with enrollment and navigating the platform. Still, K12 offers features that support student engagement — something many online schools struggle with — like clubs, field trips and extracurricular activities that give students a chance to socialize and build connections outside of class.

We started ALVA with my youngest son during the academic school year after COVID and we remained throughout last school year. We have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, flexibility, and support. It is bittersweet that my family is experiencing a lot of transitions all at once, because we had to make the decision to try brick and mortar school. We feel safe knowing that if this does not work out, we have ALVA as a safety net of what we know to be tried and true.

🚨 DO NOT RECOMMEND K12. SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE. 🚨 I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT enroll your child in this program unless you enjoy being ignored, getting the runaround, and wasting countless hours trying to get someone to do their actual job. From the very beginning, this has been an absolute nightmare. Every time you call, you get passed from one person to the next. Nobody knows what the other department is doing, nobody communicates with each other, and apparently nobody is actually responsible for fixing anything. You explain the situation repeatedly, only to have the next person completely ignore everything you just said.
They initially tried to enroll my son in a program he wasn’t even eligible for. Then, after wasting our time, they eventually emailed me saying he couldn’t qualify for it. Fine. We enrolled him in the program they told us he was eligible for. We submitted every required document. Documents were reviewed and approved, and then we were told everything was sitting with the school waiting for final approval. Except, apparently, nobody at K12 can actually contact the school to find out what’s going on. So we’re just supposed to sit around and wait. A MONTH goes by. We’re now ONE WEEK away from the scheduled start date, so I finally call and demand to speak with a manager because clearly something is seriously wrong. Of course, I can’t actually speak to one.
Eventually, someone finally looks into it and admits that both K12 and the school dropped the ball and failed to get my son’s enrollment approved after we’d been waiting for a month. Finally, we get the approval. So what do I do? I spend HOURS going through all of the required training videos so my son can be ready to start. And then I get an email saying MY SON HAS BEEN UNENROLLED. At this point, I am beyond frustrated. I ask WHY. I’m told to email another person. I email them. No response. I call. The person I speak to says they don’t know why he was unenrolled, but the notes apparently say he was marked ABSENT — despite the fact that his documented start date was still A WEEK AWAY. WHAT?! So I submit ticket after ticket. I request manager call-backs. I request emails. I explain the situation over and over again.
Eventually, I finally get a response that basically amounts to: “Sorry. We don’t know what happened. We can’t help you. You’ll need to call and re-enroll him.” You have got to be kidding me. A MONTH of waiting. Countless phone calls. Multiple departments. Approved documents. Training completed. Tickets submitted. Manager requests. And after ALL of that, nobody can explain what happened or take responsibility for fixing it. This isn’t just poor customer service. This is an absolute failure in communication, organization, and accountability. My child’s education is not something I’m willing to gamble with while a company passes me around in circles and expects me to clean up the mess their employees and their school partners created. I’m done.
K12 can keep their enrollment process, their endless phone calls, their unanswered emails, their useless tickets, and their “sorry, we don’t know what happened.” I’ll take my kids somewhere else. ⭐ ZERO STARS if Facebook would let me. If you’re considering K12, PLEASE read the reviews and think twice before putting yourself and your child through this.

We used K12 for a semester. It is entirely too complicated. Too many different places to do assignments, too many different places to submit assignments, too many hours behind the computer. 730-330 with one break.

The site is always down, live classes often don't work, and completed assignments aren't marked as done. One long assignment even needed to be redone because the site didn't log it as being complete, and students told to redo it. Finding daily assignments is complicated, and figuring out if an assignment is done is confusing because there's always a "next" button at the end, leaving you unsure of what to do.

Called and spoke to an enrollment specialist was told that they had AP courses. I was also promised a call back within three days that never happened. I reached out yet again I was told that no further questions would be answered until I fully enrolled my child. Considering my child has always been in a gifted and accelerated program, a standard program wouldn’t fit. So I reached out multiple times again got nowhere for weeks! Then when I was emailed telling me there was one piece of information missing before they could complete her enrollment I got frustrated because I told them she would not be completely enrolled unless I knew they could accommodate her accelerated learning path and her desire to achieve an AP capstone diploma with honors.
I sent an email and was finally answered that there isn’t an AP program for an AP capstone type diploma and had to stop the entire process. It is extremely hard and there are too many different people involved in the enrollment process to get real answers. I’m sure it would be easier if my kiddo wasn’t advanced, then I could just enroll her and she could just be thrown wherever they deem necessary. This is not a good route for children that are on an accelerated path trying to become doctors or any other high achieving type of education at an accelerated rate.

My son was enrolled to k12 during the tail end of the previous year because they said that hed need to enroll early to get spots for the next year. Today I received an email stating he would not be able to attend the school we have been waiting for and applied for weeks early because they wont open to new students all of a sudden now for this upcoming year. And then they offered reduced tuition private school as an option which we cannot afford to pay and shouldn't be forced to pay for. And they offered a transfer to one of the other schools. This was highly inconvenient. Then to add more issues of their nonsense in they claim I'd need to submit documents that I already sent them the first time and that I no longer have.
I asked them can't they just use the ones I sent? And I received three different excuses: First was that they didn't require it the first time, second excuse was that they didn't receive it from me but they did because I sent it when I was emailed that they needed it, third excuse was that what I sent was cut in half and nothing was on it; however it was clear when I uploaded it digitally. This school is horrible at fixing any issues that they create and lie and make excuses rather than fix their own errors and should be investigated. They don't care about students or their families. Just easy money and funds from states and taxes.

The calendar issues and changing overnight are really crappy, when trying to plan around the classes and courses for other things. I think the hall should be a little stricter when it comes to school work and classes, so there is more accountability for the kids, ensuring they take their work seriously. Y'all were better 13 years ago. Also, there has been assuming kids are doing something when they ain't our are something when they aren't and it isn't your place to treat kids like that. If y'all fixed these problems there would be great potential.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We understand how frustrating unexpected calendar changes can be when you're trying to plan around coursework, and we hear your concerns about accountability and how students are being treated. We're sorry your recent experience hasn't matched what you remember from years past, and we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share such specific observations. If you'd like to discuss any of these concerns further, please reach out to us at help@k12.com and we'd be happy to connect.

We are very satisfied with the progress our kindergartener has made this school year. I am amazing with him and so thankful for K12. I was worried about the social aspect and how well he would focus since it’s online, but his teacher was so supportive and engaging. My son can now; read, write, and solve math problem. We are excited for next year!

I had a great experience at K12. The admin was very responsive. The teachers were engaging and always responding quickly to emails by parents or students. The curriculum was good. I loved the flexibility of my kids being able to do school from home. They had great contests options available to students: Minecraft challenge, art contest, etc.

This is Aiden's grandma writing this review. Aiden is right now doing the Star 360 for reading and each question is timed. He has an IEP and reading isn't his strong point and he doesn't even have time to actually read the paragraphs let alone pick an answer so I have told him to just mark an answer. Other than that we love the school.
Thank you for sharing. We're glad you love the school overall, and we want to ensure IEP accommodations are honored. Please reach out to help@k12.com so we can look into further.

Love this school, online courses are very easy to access, teachers send communication every day to student, brake out rooms are available, the teaching skills are easy to follow, Love the good job Ms. ** is doing on a regular basis. My student is happy with his classmates, & his teachers. Also if there is absent on the teacher's side she usually informs the parent prior. STATE TESTING was excellent communication and easy to locate the testing sight. My family is extremely happy now 4 yrs with K12… Tech support is awesome as well & very swift to help get my student back online… WE LOVE K12.
