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.

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.

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.

There may be a couple of reasons for this. Have your parent look for an email from [emailprotected] (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.

Yes. Every FLVS course is taught by state-certified instructors—experts in their subject areas.Teachers and students interact regularly through phone, email, text, and live lessons. Students areencouraged to contact their teachers when there is a need of any kind. Teachers speak via telephonewith students and their parents at least once per month.

Yes, FLVS offers online Advanced Placement courses for several subject areas. An AP course is a college-level learning experience, which requires that students be academically prepared and willing to invest the necessary time and effort. AP courses are offered exclusively to students in grades 9-12.

Students will need daily access to a computer, phone, and internet. Please check to be sure yourcomputer meets the minimum systemrequirements.If specific materials or supplies are required for an individual course,these will be listed in the course description. At the start of the course, your teachers willoutline any other requirements.

Students will be placed in their requested courses as soon as possible, in most cases, within 72 hours after completing registration and required approvals. Occasionally placement may take longer due to high enrollment, during these times we strive to place students within 14 days of your selected preferred start date.

Due to the amount of time each course takes to complete, we recommend:
Homeschooled students: Not more than 4-6 courses at a time if FLVS will be theirsole provider.
Public/Private school students: Not more than 3 courses at a time.

Students can register and enroll in courses 12 months a year. FLVS Flex does not follow a traditionalacademic calendar, so the start time is flexible. 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.

FLVS courses are designed for semester-based terms. Since time is not a constant in our onlinecourses, you will have flexibility of pace and can discuss details with your teacher upon activationin the course.

Yes! Students can elect to do extra assignments each week, therefore completing the course in lesstime. All courses have a traditional pace chart which will keep you on track but you can work withyour teacher to tailor a pace chart that meets your accelerated needs.

No, FLVS Flex does not accept transfer grades. Students who withdraw from a traditional school priorto earning credit will need to repeat the entire semester/segment. FLVS Flex works insemester/segment credits only. In order to receive credit from FLVS Flex, students must complete theentire segment/semester of a 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.

Every graded assessment is recorded in the student's personal Gradebook, which is available to allparents who know the student's user name and password—something we highly recommend! Routinelymonitoring grades allows you to see student progress over time. All graded assignments and currentoverall grade average are available for viewing.Current overall grade average, gradedassignments, and teacher feedback are available for viewing at any time.

Official final grade reports are sent out electronically to the school of record immediately uponcompleting a course or semester of a course. What makes a transcript official is when it's sentsealed and/or directly to the school or entity. They have to be the ones to open it. As soon as ourinstructors complete the student and issue a final grade, a document is automatically sent to yourofficial documents file to process. Students can print Unofficial Transcripts via their FLVSaccount.
