HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 9, 2018--
K12
Inc. has launched the first-of-its-kind mobile app for managed
online K-12 schools nationwide. Available for free download on iOS and
Android devices, the K12 app delivers a handheld suite of
resources for mobile consumers to get a strong start in a 21st century
online learning environment, from enrollment to the first day of school.
“At K12 we believe that every family deserves the opportunity to choose
the learning environment that is right for their student,” said Kevin P.
Chavous, President of Academics, Policy and Schools. “With this
innovative tool, we are removing barriers for families to find the
school that’s right for them, and putting the benefits of personalized
education directly in the hands of more students across the country.”
Using the app on their smartphone or tablet, families can search by zip
code, state and grade level to find K12 partner schools available to
them. With enrollment applications now being accepted at more than 70
partner schools nationwide, parents/legal guardians can submit
applications directly within the app, and track their progress from
start to finish.
Once enrolled, families will have access to the tools they need to
ensure a successful school year, including tips for setting up their
computers, virtual tours and orientation courses to familiarize
themselves with the online learning environment, and access to technical
support along the way should they need it. The app provides
school-specific staff contact information and policies, and families
with more than one student can easily manage multiple student profiles.
“As an established leader in online K-12 education, we are always
seeking the next opportunity to innovate,” said Chavous. “With the K12
mobile app, we’re able to streamline onboarding to the online learning
experience for students and families, allowing them to focus on what
matters most – getting a great education.”
The app is available for free download on iOS and Android devices.
Enrollment is now open at K12 partner schools nationwide. For more
