HERNDON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 2018--
School might be out for the summer, but K12,
the leader in tuition-free online public education, is taking advantage
of the season to spread the word nationwide about its innovative
programs. The “K12
Public School at Home Tour” kicks off on June 13 in Phoenix. It will
continue to 12 additional markets on a cross-country mission to show
parents how education options have advanced and can be personalized to
better fit parents’ and students’ needs.
The interactive mobile unit features a colorful, inviting space with six
distinctive areas designed to introduce parents and students to the
programs, curricula and opportunities offered through a virtual, K12
program. Visitors will have the opportunity to test actual K12 lessons,
take part in hands-on educational activities, have some fun with
augmented reality and interact directly with local school administrators
and educators.
“This tour represents an exciting opportunity for us to connect directly
with the parents, teachers, administrators and students who are curious
about our tuition-free online public schools,” said Kevin P. Chavous,
President of Academics, Policy and Schools. “We are eager to showcase
our programs in a way that displays the high-quality, personalized
educational programs offered through K12.”
Representatives from K12-powered schools in each location will be on
hand to provide detailed information, answer questions and share
inspirational success stories of current and former students. Tour
participants will also have the chance to views testimonials about the
public school at home experience.
