IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Alzarhaa

“I realized I had opportunities and knew things that my fellow brick-and-mortar friends didn’t. Such as career-related classes that were provided and being able to build a close relationship with my teachers and counselor despite it being online.”

Sela

“My confidence, decision-making skills, and overall well-being improved thanks to K12.”

Veronica

“My K12 education taught me good study habits, and how to interview for a job in the field I wanted. It even helped me obtain my certified nurse assistant (CNA) license and get into the nursing program of my choice college!”
