Florida Virtual School: Why Scalable Schooling Matters

By Cait Etherington, eLearning Inside

Dr. Polly Haldeman, FLVS’s Chief Customer Officer: “We’re in our 20th year. We started in 1997 under a grant. The idea was to serve students who were looking for an option to do course work outside the traditional format. We now serve kindergarten to 12th grade students in Florida and have a global school that serves students outside Florida.” CE: How many students are currently enrolled at FLVS PH: We have an open enrolment program, but in 2016 to 2017, we served over 206,000 students, and we had over 470,000 semester completions. The majority of our students are taking a single course. In Florida, there’s an online graduation requirement, which we have had in place since 2011, so this accounts for some but not all of our enrolments.
