About K12 Inc.
K12 Inc. (NYSE: LRN), a technology-based education company, is the
largest provider of online education programs for students in
kindergarten through high school in the U.S. These programs deliver
individualized education to students through public and private online
schools, traditional classrooms, blended school programs, and directly
to families through direct purchase. Founded in 2000, K12 has
provided over 2 million courses - core subjects, AP(R), world languages,
credit recovery, and electives - to more than 200,000 students
worldwide. Over 90 percent of parents surveyed are satisfied with the K12
program and agree that their children have benefited academically with K12.
Students graduating from virtual schools supported by K12
have been accepted to hundreds of higher education institutions
including many of the nation's top-ranked colleges and universities.
K12 also distributes its extensive course catalog directly to
school districts, as well as the course catalogs of Aventa LearningTM,
acquired in July 2010, and American Education Corporation, a leading
provider of instructional and assessment software for kindergarten
through adult learners, which was acquired in December 2010.
K12 also owns, operates or provides services to several
private schools: the K12 International AcademyTM,
is an accredited, diploma-granting online private school; the KeystoneTM
School, an accredited school with more than 35 years of distance and
online learning success; and the George Washington University Online
High School, an online school recently formed with the George Washington

K12's language initiatives are executed through strategic
alliances. K12 has partnered with Middlebury College in a new
venture called Middlebury Interactive Languages to create and distribute
innovative online language courses for pre-college students. K12
has a strategic investment in Web International English, a leader in
English language training for students in China.

calibrated closely to the wide range of learning needs and environments
where K12's products are used. By leveraging technology
appropriately, and using all available instructional modalities (from

interactive media), K12 provides engaging instructional
experiences where students can learn at their own pace whether in
institutionally structured or individually prompted learning
environments.
