Homeschool Starts September 2nd!

The new school year is almost here, and now’s the time to get everything in place so your first day runs smoothly.

Start by logging in to your Student Account and making sure your Parent/Teacher Account, if you have one, is ready to go. Your dashboard is the heart of your DK12 experience — explore the Daily Assignments, Special Content, and Extra Curriculum so you know where everything is before lessons begin.

If you want the ability to track grades, attendance, and progress reports, consider upgrading to the Parent/Teacher Account. It’s designed to give you more control and insight into your student’s learning.

Lastly, make sure your computer or tablet is updated and ready, bookmark discoveryk12.com, and check your internet connection in your learning space. And don’t forget to join our official Facebook group to connect with other DK12 families for tips, support, and encouragement.

Prep for the 2025/2026 School Year!

The new school year is almost here, and we’re excited to welcome families back for another year of learning with Discovery K12.

If you’re following our traditional schedule, daily assignments resume Tuesday, September 2nd. But remember—all 180 days of curriculum are available year-round, so you can jump in anytime. Many families are already getting started on their own timeline, and that flexibility is what makes homeschooling with DK12 so effective.

Now’s the time to make sure your student is ready to move up. We recommend taking our Assessment Tests, with results available inside your Parent/Teacher Account to help guide placement and track progress.

It’s also the perfect time to get organized: use the PTA’s built-in tools to finalize transcripts, log attendance, and close out last year before kicking off the new one.

If you’re still enjoying summer break, we hope it’s been a good one—we’ll be here when you’re ready to return.

End-of-Year Assessment Testing!

Now is the time for End-of-Year Assessment Testing!

What does your child know?
Are they at grade level, below, or above?
Are they ready to move to the next level?

As the school year wraps up, it’s the perfect moment to get a clear picture of where your student stands academically. Our built-in Assessment Test is simple, no-prep, and fully online—designed to help you evaluate your child’s understanding of core subjects including spelling, math, history/social studies, and science.

Use the results to see if they’re ready to move on, or if extra review over summer might be helpful. You’ll get instant feedback right inside your Parent/Teacher Account to guide your next steps with confidence.
