Read About Our Mission and Vision

Student-Centered Learning

FLVS is designed for students looking for high-quality education, unparalleled flexibility and support, an academic challenge, and ownership of their education in a safe, distraction-free learning environment. Students have a variety of tuition-free, flexible and full-time options to choose from and can enroll in either one or multiple courses. Students have convenient 24/7 online access to more than 190 courses – including NCAA-approved core, electives, world languages, career and technical education, honors, college prep, and Advanced Placement® – allowing them to study anytime and anywhere.

A Personalized Educational Experience

Through personalized instructional offerings, students can build an educational plan that fits their unique needs. They receive live instruction and 1:1 support from Florida-certified teachers who have completed extensive professional development in online education. Students can also participate in collaborative assignments and connect with classmates, teachers, and counselors through events, face-to-face field trips, competitions, conferences, and more than 60 student clubs.

  • “Accreditation is a mark of quality that signifies an ongoing commitment to education excellence. We are proud that Cognia recognizes the daily commitment of all our team members to ensure our students are receiving the highest quality education possible.”

    Louis J. Algaze, Ph.D., President & CEO
