Achieve Online
The ACHIEVEk12 (Achieve K12) school is a K-12 online educational program in Colorado, US. It is part of Colorado Springs School District 11, and graduating students receive a District 11 diploma. Education is free to Colorado students. Every course available in person in the school district is also available online through ACHIEVEk12.
Students work primarily online from their own homes, although there is a tutoring centre where students may speak directly with their instructors. The curriculum incorporates textbooks, printed resources and hands-on activities. Courses are instructor led and thus not self-paced.

More Details
Unusually for an online programme, the curriculum includes Music, Art, and Physical Education.
