K12 is "also" a Virtual Highschool program offered through select school systems.

For example:

"Is this home schooling?
The Arizona Virtual Academy is a public school. It is not home schooling. AZVA provides another high-quality education option for your family. AZVA will be the right option for many, but certainly not all, families. Because it is a public school of choice, parents who enroll their students in AZVA can withdraw at any time if they are not happy with the program. We believe that families should be able to choose the program they feel is most appropriate for their child's education-and that they should be able to choose public schools, private schools, home schooling, or virtual public schools. AZVA seeks to be one more option to help you obtain the best possible education for your children. "

(Also note their use of the phrase "home schooling" - actually what they are doing is "home" "schooling" or simply public school at home - not what has become commonly referred to as homeschooling - there is a semantical difference in the two.




The point I'm making is that true Homeschoolers don't "do" "public school curriculums" - that's just public school at home AND with ps oversight.

True Homeschoolers RUN, not walk, from these type programs.

The beauty of homeschooling is autonomy and the freedom to pick and choose subjects, format, and content without some clueless bureaucrat dictating what they think is best for your child!
