Is your enrollment low because you don’t have a virtual option for students? Florida Virtual School is now an option!

Step Up for Students has partnered with Florida Virtual School (FLVS) to bring your students access to their extensive course list.

Your school can purchase access to the FLVS system, pre-loaded with FLVS courses, for your teachers to teach online to your students.

• • Cost: $192.95 per student for access to as many courses as your school is able to teach.
  • This cost is for 12 month access, so teachers could continue to offer online instruction to those students even into next summer.
  • There is a 25 student minimum per school.
  • Courses available start at the kindergarten level and go through high school.

Your school will also be able to use or create Non FLVS Courses in the system. A “Non FLVS Course” is any course not provided to customer by FLVS through its FLVS hosted license catalog and does not contain any FLVS course content.

• • Enrollments for use in Non FLVS courses may be purchased at $15 per enrollment.

In addition to access to courses, coursework, and teacher’s guides, FLVS will also offer training for teachers on how to use the system. Principals can choose one of the options below.

• • $195 per teacher enrollment fee for access to a self-paced course for teachers
  • $250 per hour fee for a webinar teacher training, up to 25 participants

Because you are purchasing access and your teachers will be teaching these online courses, there will be no restrictions to the number of courses that FES/FTC students can take.
