HERNDON, Va., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- K12
Inc., the nation's leading provider of online school programs in
kindergarten through high school, is recognizing National School
Choice Week (NSCW). National School Choice Week, held this year
from January 24-30, is the world's
largest annual celebration of opportunity in education.
K12 has been a long-time and proud supporter of NSCW. Its school
partners also celebrate NSCW with numerous activities and school
events across the country.
K12's Chairman and CEO, Nate
Davis, released the following statement:
"America's education system is strengthened as school choice
grows. All children deserve equal opportunity and access to schools
of their choice regardless of their academic, socioeconomic, or
geographic circumstance. This is the bedrock principle of school
choice: parents know their children best and should have the
freedom to choose the right school for their child.
"K12 is a company of educators. We are committed to putting
students first because we know parents are putting their children
first every day. Through innovative online and blended school
models, we are helping to expand the footprint of school choice
across America. These educational options matter, because for many
families online schools are the only school choice option available
to them.

parents, and children – join together in celebration of National
School Choice Week."
