ORLANDO, FL – Florida Virtual School Full Time (FLVS FT), a statewide virtual public school, still has enrollment openings for grades Kindergarten-12 for the 2015-16 school year.
Combining Florida-certified teachers, a proven curriculum,technology tools, and community experiences, Florida Virtual School Full Time (www.flvsft.com) delivers a high-quality education online to children who benefit from an individualized approach to learning.
“Online learning is one of the fastest growing forms of education, and students attending school in 2015 will learn and apply their education in a much more technologically advanced and dependent world than their parents. We prepare children to succeed in that world,” said Marcie Trombino, Lead Principal K-8 for FLVS FT.

Florida Virtual School Full Time will host free, in-person parent information sessions for interested families to learn more. In addition, real-time, interactive online information sessions and an on-demand session accessible 24/7 are also available. The information sessions provide an opportunity for families to learn more about the virtual school, review the school’s curriculum, and ask questions of teachers and school representatives.
FLVS FT high school parents Kimberly and Lance Schnacky shared: “FLVS FT allows us the flexibility for the kids to work on school lessons during the hours that fit into their schedules. Both of our children can take gifted and talented, advanced, and honors courses. We feel that this program is of the intensity necessary to prepare them for college.”
Learning from home, all FLVS FT students work closely with a certified Florida teacher using detailed daily lesson plans that can be personalized to meet individual student needs. Interaction between teachers and students at FLVS FT is frequent. Accountability is central to the school’s mission, and students must meet the same levels of accountability and complete the same state standardized tests as they would in traditional public school. FLVS FT serves a wide range of Florida students, including those who are significantly ahead or behind in the classroom, students who would benefit from more individualized instruction, or those who require a flexible school schedule.
A complete schedule of events and link to the on-demand session can be found online at www.flvsft.com/events.
