Has anyone else used the K12 virtual online school program?

Question

I enrolled yesterday, and i was just wanting some reviews and tips.

Answer 1

We've used K12 the curriculum (not as part of a VA/VSP) for 5.5 years and LOVE it.  I also worked for two K12 virtual schools.

K12's curriculum is highly engaging, broad and deep.

I assume you're the student, correct?  Make sure you start slowly into the program (while maintaining attendance).  Don't try to dive in all at once.  It takes awhile to get used to the OLS and the set up.

Play around with your schedule until you find a good one that works.  You may want to do a block schedule where you can.  You might want to do stuff away from home now and then to lesson distractions, etc.

Make sure to attend any training sessions about the OLS, whether online or IRL.  At the very least, watch the online tutorials in the OLS help section.  They'll help make the whole process less intimidating.  Make sure your parents/mentor also knows how to move around in the program.

Attend any Elluminate sessions K12 or your virtual school has, so you can connect with other students, and get some good insight into your learning.

Most of all, have fun!

Answer 3

I've heard nothing but good things about K-12 but if it turns out to not be a good fit-try something else. Sonlight has great history programs and ALEKs math is amazing!

Best of Luck to you!

Answer 4

yes my son is in it and we love it. I have used various types of curriculum and K12 is the best IMHO. It is very easy to follow and understand. My son is generally finished for the day in 3 hours or so
