"When families came to us and saw students could be successful, a lot have chosen to stick with us.” “I think in the last couple of years, a lot of families that maybe would not have thought about us for an educational choice have seen how successful students are - and anecdotally, we do hear from a lot of parents (that) their students see how challenging the content is, know they’re learning a lot," said Jason Schultz, who contends that in the virtual environment, many distractions are removed. Projections this year, according to the FLVS senior director of instruction, are about the same. One year later, that number rose to 244,000, before leveling off last year at around 239,000.
In the 2019 year, the combined program served around 224,000 students. In tandem, FLVS found its own enrollment suddenly boomed, with a 35% increase in course requests for the Flex program going into the 2021-2022 school year. In addition, the virtual school hired 400 new teachers and boosted computer servers for enhanced capacity. When the pandemic hit and school districts went virtual, FLVS partnered with the Department of Education to help to train teachers across Florida.
The school serves more than 234,000 students in two K-12 programs.School is back in session for hundreds of thousands of students at the Florida Virtual School.
