K¹² Inc. responds to an unbalanced and factually incomplete and inaccurate article with assertions that K¹² students across the country show positive academic growth in academic assessments, and that the longer students are enrolled in K¹²-managed online schools, the better they perform on state assessment tests.

We are happy to announce the 2011-2012 online clubs!
The response to our online clubs was overwhelmingly positive last year, so much so that we continued into summer with our wildly successful online Summer Camps.
This year K¹² is offering more clubs than ever, with more than 100 to choose from. These clubs give kids the chance to get
connected with like-minded peers from across the country, explore hobbies and academic interests, and benefit from the leadership of a seasoned teacher in a safe online environment.
Here are some of the clubs that are available to students this year:
… and lots more!
Take a look at the complete list of clubs in the link below. We are sure you will find something that interests your students.
