Personalized, Online Elementary School for Second Graders

At K12, we believe each child should be given every opportunity to thrive. And their learning environment should support that, providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

K12-powered online second grade programs offer your child a personalized education experience on a schedule that works for you and your family.

At K12-powered schools, online second grade curriculum is mastery-based. This style of teaching allows second graders to learn and progress at their own pace, ensuring each child has mastered his or her lessons before moving on to new subjects.

As your child's parent or legal guardian, you (or another responsible adult) act as their Learning Coach. Your role is to make sure your child completes their lessons and assignments to stay on track. Learning Coaches also work closely with their child's teacher to monitor student progress and success.

Online Public Schools

K12-powered online public schools can offer you and your young learner more freedom over your schedule than brick-and-mortar schools can typically provide. K12-powered online public elementary schools are full-time and tuition-free*—just like traditional public schools—and instruction is led by state-certified teachers.

Online Private Schools

K12 also powers two private online elementary schools, K12 Private Academy and The Keystone School. Please be advised that private schools do charge tuition.

Online Independent Courses

If you are satisfied with your child's current academic environment, but your child needs extra help in a certain subject or wants to be challenged in the classroom, you may be interested in supplementing your child's education with individual K12 online second grade courses, available for purchase.
