Welcome to Florida Virtual School Full Time
Florida Virtual School and Connections Academy, both longtime leaders in online learning, have joined forces to become Florida Virtual School Full Time (FLVS FT). Connections Academy’s mission is to help each student maximize his or her potential and meet the highest performance standards through a uniquely individualized learning program. Florida Virtual School aims to deliver a high-quality, technology-based education that provides the skills and knowledge students need for success.
Florida Virtual School Full Time provides a new form of school that students can attend from home. This unique program combines:
- the expertise and accountability of publicly funded education,
- strong parental involvement, and
