What is k 12?
K 12 education is the abbreviation of preschool education to senior high school education. Now it is widely used to refer to basic education, which refers to education from kindergarten (generally 5-6 years old) to twelfth grade (generally 17- 18 years old).

These two ages are the beginning and end of free education in the United States, Australia and English-speaking Canada, and can also be used as a general term for basic education. K 12 is mainly adopted by the United States, Canada and other North American countries. K 12 online education is divided into primary schools, junior high schools and senior high schools. The main modes are one-on-one learning, two-way tutoring education and home-school communication.
