Florida Virtual School is fully accredited by two major agencies: The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation.
Founded in 1997 as a grant-based project between two Florida school districts, FLVS began with just 77 enrollments, a dream, and a group of educators brave enough to try online learning for secondary students. At the time, we assumed that online learning would only appeal to students in advanced computer classes or who were exceptionally self-disciplined.
We were proven wrong. In 2005-2006, Florida Virtual School delivered more than 68,000 individual course enrollments to approximately 31,000 students across Florida. Clearly, all types of students are included in those numbers. Online learning meets many needs including credit retrieval, advancement, access to courses not normally available, and more.
FLVS has led the way in providing a rigorous academic program that has passed stringent external reviews by states across the nation. Winner of numerous national and international educational awards, FLVS now trains teachers, administrators, school districts, and states in how to deliver a sound, accountable, and successful online learning experience.
Florida Virtual School has also led the way by advocating for and receiving groundbreaking legislation that makes online learning possible and fundable. The Florida legislature agreed to include Florida Virtual School in the state’s per-pupil funding model—based solely on successful completions.
