Esports

Engage in Some Serious Play.

Our E-Sports League gives students an online platform to challenge their peers across the nation while learning powerful teambuilding and communication skills.

Coaches strive to bring out the best in their players, helping them balance E-Sports with school and other commitments

Learn Teamwork and Collaboration.

Work with Dedicated Coaches.

Compete with Teams Nationwide.

Level Up Your Learning.

Participating in E-Sports isn’t just about the game. Through our online program, our students play against teams from other schools, learning to work together.

Rocket League.

Described as “soccer with rocket-powered cars” Rocket League has up to four players on each of two teams. They use rocket-powered vehicles to hit a ball into their opponent’s goal to score points over the course of a match.

League of Legends.

League of Legends is a battle game with a top-down view. Teams work together to win, usually by destroying the core building (called the Nexus) in the enemy team’s base after bypassing a line of defensive structures called turrets, or towers.

Career Relevancy.

Did you know gaming can lead to a fulfilling career? There’s much more to the industry than just turning pro as a player.

Information Technology.

This field is a natural fit for gamers, especially for those who want to do more than just play. Our students can explore Digital Design, Game Design & Programming, Programming, or Web & Digital Communication.

Business.

E-Sports and leagues are becoming serious business. If that side of the industry interests your child, they can study Entrepreneurship, General Management, or Marketing Communications.

Health & Human Services.

The potential for gamification to impact health and education has been expanding. Our students that are interested in this path could explore how games play a role in Healthcare Education & Training or Sports Medicine.

You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers.

Since all academics are virtual at online school, it’s important for children to have a way to connect with other students through social activities and extracurricular clubs. K12-powered schools are unique in the number and diversity of social opportunities offered for enrolled students and other learners to connect with their peers.

Social opportunities include extracurricular activities and clubs for all grade levels, national competitions and contests, summer camps, and enrichment programs. Students can explore their passions and interests while developing meaningful friendships within a safe online learning environment at K12-powered schools.

Many experts believe online students have abundant opportunities to participate in meaningful social activities both online and in-person. Homeschooled children and children who attend online schools are not confined to their homes. Rather, they’re encouraged to participate in various outdoor activities and interact with friends and peers. This could include field trips to the zoo, a play, or a museum; playing a sport; engaging in an artistic activity; or otherwise participating in their communities.

The social component of learning does not disappear when school takes place online, but it does look different. Students participate in group projects through breakout sessions. They may also collaborate on assignments to solve problems and overcome challenges. Students are encouraged to treat the online classroom as a traditional experience, leaving cameras and microphones on to connect more effectively.

Outside the classroom, students gather for online clubs, contests, field trips, workshops, and other extracurricular activities. These tools can be especially helpful for shy students, who may already have something in common with the others in the club, thereby easing initial connections.

We haven’t forgotten that adults need a social network, too! We have resources and activities for parents and guardians, including our Learning Coach Community. You’ll have many opportunities to connect with other parents and Learning Coaches and find opportunities for your child to be more social. Some of the K12 enrichment programs also have sessions for adults.

We encourage you to draw support from our community. To start, we recommend the Behind the Scenes Facebook group. Some schools also have a Learning Coach Community built right in the K12 App—check to see if your school is one of them! Also, many K12-powered schools have Facebook pages to connect with local families. In addition, you can attend one of many events and activities where you can meet other families and teachers.
