MU High School, and its Mizzou K-12 Online program, turns international, high school-age students from around the world into Missouri Tigers. “We feel like we are at home,” Luciana Calixto, the coordinator of Mizzou K-12 Online programs at two Brazilian schools, said about being with her students in Columbia. Students in 135 countries participate in MU’s online high school program, Mizzou K-12 Online, run by the College of Education. Other American universities offer online high school programs, but MU’s program is unusual because it is conducted through the education college. For students, the tuition for Mizzou K-12 is a few hundred dollars each month. The price differs depending on the partnerships between MU and different schools. It provides access to classes that international students wouldn’t receive in their home countries, and courses are assigned, completed and graded completely online.
