K-12, computerized learning
The question has come up: What is K-12 education.
K–12 is a designation for the primary grades and secondary education. It is used in the United States, Canada, and other countries. The expression is a shortening of Kindergarten (4-6 years old) through 12th grade (16-19 years old) These are the first and last grades of free education in the United States, Australia and English Canada. It is often used in school website URLs. The term PK-12 is sometimes used to add pre-kindergarten.
Most communities in the United States and Canada (and wherever else the term is used) are just beginning to provide modern information technology at the K-12 levels. K–14 education also includes community colleges (first two years of university) and K–16 education adds a four-year undergraduate university degree.
Curriculum based school anywhere
K-12 is also the designation for an online school program. This program is different from traditional schools in that classes do not take place in a building. Most students take courses from their own home with support from their teacher via phone and Internet. This educational program is available across the U.S. and around the world.
It is a U.S. based curriculum for domestic and international students that meets or exceeds U.S. standards for public education. There is no waiting list and the program starts monthly for new students. Learning can occur wherever an internet connection is available. The program is individualized. It is a curriculum based program.
