A Modern K-12 School Experience
We inspire students to shine bright and reach their highest level of achievement every day.
Experts in K - 12 Online Learning
Our team of professional educators teach Lumen students in grades K through 12 through interactive daily virtual instruction. Our programs empower students to engage with their teachers, classmates, and course material in live online classes and give them the space to explore new knowledge and interests at home and in person.
Most Lumen classes are taught live online and streamed virtually at home. As with traditional public schools, students are expected to actively attend class and participate in lessons.
Our experienced educators create dynamic curricula that meet each student where they are and grow with them as they progress and adapt to virtual learning.
Lumen brings students out from behind the computer into new environments and experiences, helping them build confidence, interact with peers, forge friendships, and learn life lessons along the way.
