Stride’s General Education programs provide kindergarten through 12th-grade instruction in core subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and history. Programs can be delivered through full-time virtual schools or as individual curriculum and support services purchased by schools and districts.
Stride provides technology, curriculum, instruction, administration support, and school-management services to public virtual schools. These programs give families an alternative to traditional classroom-based education while schools remain subject to state and local public-education requirements.
Stride supports programs combining online education with in-person learning or school-based activities. Blended models can allow districts to use Stride’s curriculum and technology while maintaining physical instructional or support environments.
Stride also provides online private-school learning options. Private programs can offer greater scheduling flexibility and may serve students who want an alternative to district-based virtual public education.
Career Learning programs introduce middle and high school students to career pathways in areas including information technology, healthcare, and business. High school participants can work toward industry credentials, college credit, job-shadowing experiences, and other career-readiness opportunities.
Stride provides career and technical education designed to connect academic learning with practical workforce skills. Students can explore industries, complete project-based coursework, and prepare for certifications linked to high-demand occupations.
MedCerts provides online career training focused heavily on healthcare and information-technology certifications. Programs are designed for adults seeking short-term, structured training that can lead to recognized credentials and entry into new career fields.

For families interested in enrolling in a Stride-powered K12 school, the most direct starting point is 855-686-3515. Families already approved or enrolled who need help with a computer or online-school system can use 866-512-2273. Because many Stride-powered schools are legally separate public or private schools, academic records, attendance, teacher concerns, discipline, special education, and school-specific complaints should normally begin with the school itself rather than Stride’s corporate headquarters.
For corporate matters, Stride can be contacted through its Reston headquarters at 703-483-7000. Investors should use ir@k12.com, while media inquiries should go to press@k12.com. Before calling, have the student’s school name, program name, enrollment information, case number, dates, and any previous correspondence ready so the matter can be routed to the correct team.
Complaints may involve enrollment, online-school technology, curriculum, customer support, adult career programs, account access, billing, school administration, or another Stride-related service. Before escalating, collect the student’s or learner’s program name, school name, dates, account information, emails, screenshots, receipts where relevant, and records of previous conversations.
Begin with the support channel connected to the service. K12 enrollment concerns can use 855-686-3515, while approved families with technical problems can call 866-512-2273. Explain the issue clearly, provide identifying information needed to locate the account, and ask that the matter be documented.
If the issue is school-specific, contact the principal, school administrator, teacher, registrar, special-education office, or applicable program department. For MedCerts, Tech Elevator, Galvanize, or another adult-learning program, use that business’s dedicated learner-support channel rather than general K12 support.
If frontline support cannot resolve the complaint, request escalation to a supervisor, school administrator, program manager, or customer-service leader. Provide the original case number and a concise timeline of the problem so the reviewer can see what has already been attempted.
Submit the issue in writing through the relevant school or Stride program’s official support process. Written complaints should include dates, names, screenshots, prior responses, and the exact outcome requested. Written communication creates a clearer record if additional escalation later becomes necessary.
For a serious unresolved company-level issue, write to Stride, Inc., 11720 Plaza America Drive, 9th Floor, Reston, VA 20190. Clearly identify the school, subsidiary, or program involved and include copies rather than originals of supporting records.
Where the issue involves a public school, use the school’s formal grievance, special-education, academic appeal, or administrative complaint process. For investor or corporate-governance issues, contact Investor Relations at ir@k12.com. Different Stride subsidiaries may also maintain program-specific dispute procedures.
Education complaints can involve the relevant state department of education, charter-school authorizer, school district, state licensing agency, or other education regulator depending on the program. Career-training programs may also be subject to state postsecondary education or professional-certification rules.
For billing, advertising, or consumer-contract concerns, customers may contact the applicable state Attorney General, consumer-protection agency, or payment-card issuer. Payment disputes should be supported by receipts, enrollment agreements, cancellation records, and prior correspondence.
If the complaint remains unresolved and significant financial or legal rights are involved, review the terms governing the specific Stride service, school, or adult-learning program. Those terms determine whether mediation, arbitration, administrative proceedings, or court remedies apply. Consider obtaining qualified legal advice before beginning a formal proceeding.
