Stride K12-powered online middle schools offer engaging, interactive courses that combine tried-and-true educational approaches with the best practices for online instruction.
Your Student's Team
As a parent, you play an active role by partnering with teachers and your child—while Stride K12 and your school provide resources, advice, and access to the support of an online parent community.
Student's Role
In middle school, content is mostly online with some opportunities for in-person learning,* and students begin to work more independently.
Parent's Role
You or another responsible adult act as your child's Learning Coach. Learning Coaches work with teachers—helping to monitor student attendance and mastery of online lessons and assessments. On average, you'll spend 2–4 hours a day providing guidance and oversight.†
Teacher's Role
State-certified teachers help create student learning plans, monitor progress and attendance, teach live online classes, and hold online help sessions and office hours.
Online Students Are Social Too
Just like other kids, students at Stride K12-powered schools can connect with each other through extracurricular clubs and activities—both online and in person.§ In addition to your school's offerings, Stride K12 has 50+ national online clubs, giving your child the chance to engage with peers from across the country.
It's never too early to help prepare your child for college, a career, or both.
You may want to consider Stride Career Prep, which combines traditional academics with a career-focused, college-ready education. Middle schoolers can get a head start by taking a career explorations elective to discover their interests and begin to chart a path to a bright future.‡
