Personalized Education Program (PEP) scholarship recipients must register as “Private School” student type in the Admissions and Registration process.
Please review the following information carefully to determine if your child meets the requirements for summer enrollment in Flex Elementary School.
Acceleration:
- Public school students may enroll in Flex Elementary courses if they have been approved by their school of record for acceleration. The school of record verifies the course(s) to acknowledge it is both academically appropriate and FTE will be received by FLVS. FLVS may serve as an acceleration option for students.
Enrichment:
- Public school students may enroll in Flex Elementary Computer Science or Spanish as an enrichment option. Students may enroll in courses throughout the year.
- Public school students who successfully completed a grade level and were promoted may not enroll in FLVS courses in the summer if the student will be enrolled in the same courses in the school of record the following fall.
Remediation:
- Public school students who did not pass a subject or grade level may enroll if the school of record requests the student retake a course(s) with Flex Elementary during summer for promotion consideration. If the student successfully completes the course(s), the promotion or retention decision falls on the school of record.
- FLVS cannot provide remediation in same grade level courses if the student has successfully completed those courses in a public school and was promoted to the next grade level. Upon promotion, a student may not re-enroll in the previous grade level.
Step 2 – Pick Courses
Select your courses in the K-5 or 6-12 registration system. Any courses successfully completed with Florida Virtual School will be on your official academic record and will not need to be taken again at another school.
