Teaching Accelerated Learners

For gifted kids, the four walls of a classroom can feel like the four sides of a box. K¹² understands that academically gifted students don’t fit into a box—whether it’s a classroom or a one-size-fits-all education program. Teaching gifted kids is about challenging their young, talented minds. It’s about allowing these students the freedom that comes from flexible, individualized learning approaches, and the challenge that comes from an exceptional, engaging curriculum—both of which K¹² provides.

Here are just a few reasons why the challenging, engaging K12 curriculum works so well for academically gifted students:

• TheK-8 curriculum is mastery-based, enabling students to advance when they're ready—not when the rest of the class is.
• The K¹² high school program, K¹²9¹², includes Honors and AP® courses. (Learn more about K¹²9¹².)
• Foreign language courses in up to five languages are available to all students—from kindergarteners to high schoolers.
• The approach to learning is flexible and dynamic.
• K¹² focuses on helping students reach their natural potential.
• Many of the virtual public schools that offer the K¹² curriculum and learning program offer specialized Advanced Learner teacher support, as well as enrichment activities, clubs, and special programs like Lego Robotics, Odyssey of the Mind, and chess—just to name a few. (Find a school near you that offers the K¹² curriculum and program.)

With K¹², gifted kids think and learn out of the box.
