Full Time Gifted Program

Gifted Education

Florida Virtual School Full Time Public Schools provides instructional options that allow for numerous opportunities to expand and challenge student learning. FLVS Full Time Public Schools teachers are sensitive to the varying needs of gifted learners and our virtual environment fosters individualization and differentiated instruction to meet those unique needs.

Students that are identified as Gifted, and therefore have an Educational Plan (EP), are assigned to a Gifted Coordinator who ensures that the services and goals on the student's EP are reviewed, revised, and implemented regularly.
