Florida Virtual School, American online public high school
Florida Virtual School is a public online school based in Orlando, Florida, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade. It offers two programs: a full-time path leading to a diploma, and a flexible option where students take individual courses throughout the year.
Florida Virtual School was founded in 1997, making it one of the first public online schools in the United States. In 2013, it graduated its first class of full-time students with a standard diploma.
Florida Virtual School shows how learning can fit around very different life situations, such as for children who train seriously in sports, travel often, or cannot attend a physical school. Many families in Florida choose it as a deliberate alternative to the traditional school day.
Since everything takes place online, there is no physical location to visit. The best way to explore courses and enrollment options is through the school's official website.
Tennis player Coco Gauff completed her schooling here while building her professional career at the same time. Her example shows how the program can support students who are pursuing a demanding path outside of traditional school hours.
