At Florida Connections Academy, we offer the support students need to meet Florida graduation requirements.
Florida Connections Academy works closely with families to ensure that students understand graduation requirements in Florida and have the support they need to fulfill those requirements. Our comprehensive high school curriculum is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom—long after graduation.
Students who attend online school and meet Florida graduation requirements receive the same diploma as their peers who attend brick-and-mortar public schools in the state.
Beginning with the 2023-2024 Cohort and all others after, Florida Connections Academy offers two options to earn a high school diploma: Standard High School Diploma (24-credits) and Academically Challenging Curriculum to Enhance Learning (ACCEL) option (18-credits). Students must successfully earn a 2.0 or higher grade point average (GPA) to graduate and participate in state tests. Specific Florida Graduation Requirements can be found here.
Students must successfully earn a minimum of 24 credits to graduate and participate in state tests. Be sure to check your school handbook for updates. The course credits required to graduate are included below.
