Students attending classes at eLearningk12 will need a laptop with wireless networking, and headphones. Students working from home may use either a laptop or desktop computer. Here are the minimum hardware requirements for either laptops or desktop computers. Hard drive size is not important, as all of our work is done online.
There is no software to purchase to enroll in eLearningK12. You will need to download a few free browser plug-ins to insure all lessons will work smoothly. Please visit our Downloads Page to download files you will need to access eLearningk12 lessons.
