High School Diploma
Our High School Diploma program is the cornerstone of the K12 Schools curriculum. It is designed for students in Grades 9 through 12, offering a globally recognized credential that opens doors to higher education, professional opportunities, and lifelong success. By completing the required courses in core subjects—such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies—students build a solid academic foundation. In addition, a broad range of elective courses allows students to pursue their interests, ranging from Business and Technology to the Arts and World Languages. Key features of our High School Diploma program include:

Project-Based and Career-Focused Classes
K12 Schools believe that learning should be engaging and relevant to real-life situations. Our Project-Based Learning (PBL) approach encourages students to collaborate, think critically, and apply their knowledge to solve practical problems. This method helps students:
Develop Problem-Solving Skills:
Students engage in meaningful projects that simulate real-world challenges, allowing them to think creatively and innovatively.
Career Readiness
Classes are designed with a focus on future careers, providing students with the knowledge and skills required for success in fields such as STEM, Business, Arts, and Humanities.
Collaboration and Communication
Through teamwork and presentations, students enhance their ability to work in groups, effectively communicate, and present their ideas confidently.
Student Portfolio
The Student Portfolio is a key feature of the K12 Schools learning experience. It allows students to document their progress, achievements, and projects throughout their academic careers. The portfolio is a powerful tool that showcases a student’s development over time, highlighting both academic growth and personal achievements.
Personalized Learning Records:
Students can reflect on their learning journey by compiling their best work, from essays and projects to presentations and extracurricular activities.
Career and College Applications:
The portfolio serves as an excellent resource for students to present during college admissions or job applications, offering a comprehensive overview of their skills, achievements, and career readiness.
Ongoing Assessment
