We believe in student agency, so prepare to take control and become active in your learning. This is not a passive, sit-back-and-absorb-it-all experience. You’ll frame your own vision for success and be responsible for the decisions and actions that move you down the path at your own pace. But you won’t be alone. We have an inspiring network of learning guides, tutors, coaches and peers to provide personalized instruction, academic guidance and social support.

what students are saying

Having the freedom to make my own schedule and work at an accelerated pace on high level courses in an amazing community is what KWS is about.

– E.H.

Most of the time school is memorizing the book and putting it down on paper. I want to use critical thinking and hone in on the reason why.

– E.K.

I am overjoyed to help the school trailblaze a new way to do online school.

– G.G.

Main focus is a learning community. I thrive learning with other students through discussion and debate, especially when I am a part of a small group of students who support and challenge each other.

– P.D.

I want to be ahead. If I can get two years done in one, that’s good for me… I’m going to succeed earlier, the earlier the better.

– A.A.

This is a very rigorous and challenging program and that is exactly what I want for myself. I love a good challenge and I recognize that I thrive when I’m pushed to work hard.

– K.C.

A world-class education from anywhere.
