Public Virtual Education In Florida
School District Virtual Instruction Programs
The 2008 Florida Legislature created the School District Virtual Instruction Program which requires school districts to offer a full-time virtual instruction program for students in grades K-8 and a full- or part-time virtual program for grade 9-12 students in the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) programs and dropout prevention programs beginning in the 2009-10 School year. School districts may offer these programs beginning with the 2008-09 school year. The following website provides information about this new virtual education option as well as an opportunity for you to provide your comments and questions.
State-Level Virtual Schools
Florida Virtual School (grades 6-12)
Florida has led the way with groundbreaking legislation that makes online learning possible and fundable. The Florida Legislature initially funded the Florida Virtual School(FLVS) as a grant-based pilot project in 1997, pioneering Florida’s first Internet-based, public high school. The school has grown phenomenally, allowing students to learn at any time, any place, any path, and any pace.
