Virtual Schools

Empower students to reach their highest potential with full-time, flexible online learning solutions.

Reimagine learning  

Academic leaders recognize that full-time online K-12 schools are an important public school option. Online public schools create opportunities for underserved populations, provide personalized instruction, and offer greater flexibility in a safe learning environment. Administrators, charter boards, and authorizers who partner with Pearson can offer a trusted, proven academic program to students in their district, region, or state.

Students are at the center of everything we do. We believe in the power of learning and have seen students transform in our online environment. With more than 20 years of experience in online education, we can help you build a full-time online school that will fuel your students' academic success.

“E-learning can be life-changing or even lifesaving.”
