Visit the FLVS Full Time ESE or individual courses (FLVS Flex) ESE webpages for more information on Florida Virtual School and its ESE programs. Students with disabilities or impairments enrolled in individual courses (FLVS Flex) must work with their district of enrollment to request any necessary ESE services, related services, evaluations, annual reviews, re-evaluations, and initial eligibility determinations. 

For families interested in FLVS Full Time Public Schools, enrollment applications open on Nov. 4 for the second semester. Students with a disability or impairment must indicate those in the appropriate sections on the application and attach a copy of the most current IEP.
