K12-powered online kindergarten makes learning fun with our award-winning curriculum that introduces students to core subjects through engaging, interactive lessons.
Some schools also offer kindergarten prep (sometimes referred to as pre-kindergarten, transitional kindergarten, or developmental kindergarten), allowing parents to enroll students who miss the fall kindergarten cutoff date and jump-start their learning before they begin kindergarten the following year.
What You'll Get
How does online kindergarten work?
Kindergarten Curriculum
Our curriculum is rooted in the principles of how children learn while the online school platform harnesses the power of 21st-century technology to make learning come alive. K12-powered online kindergarten offers engaging courses with a solid foundation in reading, math, science, and history. Students may also choose courses in art, music, and world languages.** All courses are designed to help spark your child's joy of learning—a joy that's sure to grow with each academic year.
Language Arts
Students build a strong foundation in early reading, writing, and word study while fostering a love of reading. Structured lessons provide instruction in handwriting, vocabulary, phonics, and foundations of the writing process. Poetry, literature, and nonfiction texts are used to develop basic comprehension.
Math
Students are introduced to numbers. They learn through reading, writing, counting, comparing, ordering, adding, and subtracting. Students solve problems and encounter early concepts in place value and measurement. They also study two- and three-dimensional figures.
Science
Students begin to develop observation skills as they learn about the five senses and the needs of plants, animals, and the Earth. Students also explore weather and climate, energy, temperature, and concepts related to forces and motion.
Social Studies
Students learn the basics of world geography and are introduced to American history. Lessons introduce key figures in the nation's history, symbols representing America, the rights and responsibilities of citizens and the laws they must follow, some of the many cultures and traditions found in the U.S., and basic economic concepts.
World Languages
Students learn through contextual interpretation and imitation. This appealing adventure for young minds includes a fun and interactive experience by learning through animated stories authentic to each country's language and culture.
Art
Students are introduced to the concepts of line, shape, color, and more. They learn about portraits and landscapes, and realistic and abstract art. Students explore paintings, sculpture, and still life works, and create artwork similar to those they have studied.
Music
Students build foundational skills through singing, creative movement, dancing, real and virtual instruments, listening maps, and authentic sound recordings. They learn about musical elements, explore music around the world, and perform seasonal and celebratory songs.
