Ten years ago, Florida Virtual School was created to serve the needs of students. Today, that mission has only grown stronger, as evident in the words of the News in a Click staff.
FLVS means so much to me in many ways. It allows me to be home schooled in a different and unique way and expand my learning possibilities. It offers a lot of great classes that kids in traditional schools and kids who are home-schooled can take together. Also, I can meet a lot of new people whom I can chat through in a friendly, online environment. I think that FLVS has been a huge help to millions of kids who want a good, friendly school to go to!

I like FLVS because of the flexible schedule and the way the curriculum is presented. Christopher Levkoff
FLVS is not only a really great way to catch up on credits but it’s fun and you don't even have to leave your house... You can even wear your pajamas to school and no one knows... I have done it many times.

FLVS means a lot to me. When I was in traditional school, I had problems asking questions. Ever since I joined FLVS, I have pulled up my grades as well as getting the courage to ask my teachers as many questions as I have. Overall, FLVS has helped me academically as well as physically. At FLVS, I have more time to work on my studies as well as my physical activities.

FLVS has helped me go further in school and has helped my mind to go places the text books disapproved or didn't think of. It is much easier interacting with a human than with a dull textbook. THANK YOU FLVS!!!

Being homeschooled my entire life, my family has tried a lot of different curriculums; FLVS has been one of the best, and my personal favorite. Since I want to be a writer, the News in a Click newspaper club is an amazing help with that, the students are wonderful and all of the staff are so nice. FLVS is great for my family - we're always busy and our schedule is SO confusing sometimes [probably mostly because we don't HAVE a set schedule], so with FLVS being so flexible, it's much help for us. Go FLVS!

Florida Virtual School benefits so many students. It's your education, your school. The education offered through FLVS is extraordinary, and the teachers and staff are so dedicated to the students. FLVS uses the phrase: Any time, any place, any path, any pace. All I can say as an FLVS student is that they live up to that phrase.

FLVS is the best opportunity I have ever had. It's like the North Star. =)
Ramer Pelayo
FLVS has given me the opportunity to excel as a student by giving me the freedom to learn from home and work at a fast pace. The wonderful teachers and online learning experience FLVS provides has helped me greatly. As a home-schooler, I have been blessed with FLVS and am grateful to it for making my life so much better!

FLVS has helped me realize that time management is crucial for success, not just in school, but in the workplace as well. Nowadays, students are taking on so much (ie. AP classes, clubs, sports, work, and so on), and if they don't plan out their time accurately, then they are going to feel overwhelmed and not do anything. FLVS, however, showed me that I have to organize my time efficiently in order to be a good student and be successful.

FLVS has wonderfully, explosively, and permanently changed my perspective on education. The online format and one-on-one approach has given me the flexibility and opportunity I need in order to explore new ways to enhance my own learning experience. Katie Brandenburg
FLVS means freedom to me. Through the Florida Virtual School, I have the freedom to decide my own courses, pace and schedule. It is the easiest and yet most successful form of schooling I have ever known.

What's so great about FLVS is that you can work at your own pace. When you get something wrong the teachers are right there always willing to help you, whether it's the question you got wrong or it's helping you get back on pace. The teachers make you feel like you’re the only one student there because they take time and help you out. They will keep going over something until you understand it.
Ecstasi McKenzie
Every morning when I get up, I can't wait to log on and do my schooling. FLVS has made learning fun and effective. And there are no words to describe the teachers. My teachers do not treat me as if I am some pay check. "Any time, any place, any path, any pace." That's my slogan I go by. As a full-time student, I am proud to say FLVS is my school!
Angel Gordon
I’ve been home schooled my entire life, so FLVS has been a great way for me to take high school courses and still be able to pursue my interests and other classes. I feel that I have gained a sense of responsibility for my own success and education. With the help and support of my teachers, I’ve learned to communicate better, to persevere, and to set goals. I will be very sad to leave this year when I graduate, but I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned at FLVS. So here's to 10 great years, and many more to come!
Andrea Willingham
FLVS has helped me understand myself and my own quality. It helped me understand even the most complicated things can be completed and FUN. FLVS is a tool to find more about yourself with the creative lessons that bring out your true natural creativity.
Santana Harris
What I like most about FLVS is the teachers are friendly and make you feel very comfortable with your work. They are very encouraging, and willing to help you in any way they can. The lessons are interesting and made to be fun (instead of boring and tiresome like in public school.)
Karina Miller
FLVS has helped me so much. I learn a lot and can even get ahead!
Cassie Davis
FLVS means a lot to me. It has helped me graduate on time. The last school I was at before attending my current high school was not accredited, so without FLVS I would have had to stay for one more year to finish up the English credit that I took at FLVS. FLVS lets me work faster on courses that I excel at (like technological courses). It also makes more sense to take technical courses like web design at FLVS compared to a traditional high school. It's also a bit easier to understand and work without sacrificing content. I really like the “at your own pace and own time” themes. This way if I'm up at 2 a.m. and feel like doing a ton of FLVS course work, I can! Try that at a traditional High School! Joshua Ward |
