Florida Virtual School provides Kindergarten-12th grade students with a variety of tuition-free*, flexible online courses. Take true ownership of your education by creating your own schedule and working at your own pace. Public, private, charter, and homeschool students will find the freedom to create their own path at Florida Virtual School.

FLVS Full Time is a fully online public school requiring students take astandard public school course load of six courses per semester. The school runs on a traditional180-day academic calendar (August to June) and serves as the school of record, managing all studenttranscripts and progress reports. It is open to students in Kindergarten-12th grade and issuesdiplomas to graduating high school seniors. As a public school, it requires students to meet allstate testing requirements, including the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) and End-of-Course(EOC) exams.

FLVS Flex allows students to take one or more online courses anytime during theyear. It is open to homeschool students who want to customize theirown schedule and curriculum or traditional students who take the majority of their courses at apublic or private school.

Florida school districts are also required to offer full-time virtual programs to their residentstudents. Some local districts use Florida Virtual School as a provider for their program orcurriculum. In these programs, the student remains a student of the resident district, must beenrolled with the district, and must be approved by the district to enter the program. Thesestudents receive a diploma from the resident district once they meet all state/districtrequirements.

FLVS is accredited as a school district system by Cognia. The various FLVS schools are accredited bySACS CASI (Southern Association of College and Schools Council on Accreditation and SchoolImprovement). Our courses meet all of the Florida Standards.

FLVS Flex homeschool students are not eligible to receive a diploma orGED directly from FLVS. However, students enrolled in FLVS FullTime dograduate with a diploma. For these students following a traditional 180-day academic calendar, FLVSFull Time becomes the primary school of record and issues high school diplomas to graduatingseniors.

FLVS Flex provides courses for credit. FLVS Flex is not a student's school of record (or "baseschool"), nor does FLVS Flex provide a high school diploma. Students must be one of four things totake a FLVS course:

Any children of military personnel who are in good standing in their Florida school district(including public, private, or homeschool students) may take courses with FLVS Flex. Children ofmilitary families who are permanent Florida residents currently residing outside the state may takeFLVS courses free of charge by registering as homeschool students withtheir Florida district of record or by enrolling in our full-time public school option, FLVS Full Time. Military families residing outside of Florida with noestablished Florida residency are not eligible to take free courses through FLVS Flex or FLVS FullTime, but may enroll in our tuition-based option, FLVS GlobalSchool.

With FLVS Flex, private school students can take online courses at school or at home to customize andenhance their education. Private schools may affiliate withFLVS free of charge to offer their students the flexibility of online learning. FLVS coursesare also available to students who receive school choice scholarships, including the Florida TaxCredit Scholarship, McKay Scholarship, and Gardiner/Personalized Learning Scholarship Account(PLSA). Vieweligibility details here.

Our goal is to provide an exemplary educational experience for all students. FLVS is a school ofchoice and should be considered only if FLVS is the most appropriate choice based on the uniqueneeds of the student. Students should meet the profile for success set forth by FLVS. All studentsare required to follow the instructional policies enforced at FLVS and must agree to such uponregistration.

Students with disabilities or impairments enrolled in FLVS Flex must work with their districtof enrollment to receive any necessary ESE services, related services, evaluations,annual reviews, re-evaluations, and initial eligibility determinations.

Students/families are encouraged to communicate regularly with their teachers at FLVS Flex todetermine whether the virtual educational environment can appropriately meet the needs of thestudent. FLVS Flex offers a grace period for families to determine if the online environment is anappropriate fit. Please be sure to discuss the limitations of this grace period with your FLVSteacher immediately upon enrollment in FLVS Flex.

FLVS partners with parents to ensure student success. Parents regularly connect with teachers and canreview student progress and grades at any time. On the elementary level, parents of students aremore hands-on and involved in guiding students and assisting with projects or schoolwork that may becompleted both on or away from the computer. This on-site supervision and support is critical in theearly years, while students in older grades begin to work more independently.

FLVS values parents as partners. From approving course requests to monitoring progress, theParent/Guardian Account allows parents to have a hands-on approach with their student's academiclife at FLVS.

First, the student must complete the sign upprocess. Once the student has completed the online application, he or she will receive astudent username and password. You will need the student username and password to create yourParent/Guardian account.

There may be a couple of reasons for this. Have your parent look for an email from [email protected] (remember to check in spam or junkfolders). If you think you may have entered an incorrect email address for your parent/guardian,please log back in and navigate to the Parent/Guardian profile page to update this information.

Almost all of our courses may be taken for Regular or Honors credit. Register for regular, theninform your teacher once placed in the regular version of your desire to work for honorscredit.
Public / Private Students: Make sure your school counselor is aware of your choiceprior to notifying your FLVS instructor.

When you register, you can select your preferredstart date. We will do our best to place you on your preferred start date. However, placement atthat time is not guaranteed. As students are assigned to instructors, a welcome call must then becompleted. Once the welcome call is complete, you may begin working in the course.

You will need to provide your email address as well asyour parent or guardian's during registration. Both of you will receive emails to finish the sign-upprocess. Read those emails all the way through, as they will contain important information. You willalso receive a phone call to verify your registration.

Each student is required to submit a specific amount of work each week to maintain the appropriatepace decided on by teacher and student. The number of required weekly submissions depends on thecourse taken. Failure to maintain pace results in warnings, reduced grades, and, if unheeded,withdrawal from the course.

All FLVS courses have a Pace Chart embedded in them. This allows students to know exactly what isexpected to be submitted on a weekly basis, whether they choose a traditional, extended, oraccelerated pace. Teachers assist students in modifying the chart to reflect their chosen pace.

Upon entering the course, students have access to ALL assignments, but access to tests or quizzes maynot be available until certain assignments have been completed. Students move sequentially throughthe course, but may be allowed to occasionally move ahead or test out of certain areas, pendinginstructor approval.
