Classes through Florida Virtual School (FLVS)

The Florida Department of Education currently requires that all public and private high school students take a minimum of one class online prior to graduation. A common and convenient way to do this is through FLVS. The credit hours earned through FLVS count toward graduation from Socrates Preparatory School if the course is approved for high school credit by FLVS and does not duplicate classes previously taken for credit at Socrates Preparatory School or a previous school. Course descriptions, objectives, prerequisites and requirements are specified by FLVS and are available on their website at https://flvs.net/home. Work assignments and grades are provided by FLVS certified teachers, not the teachers at Socrates Preparatory School. It is the student’s responsibility to keep themselves on task and to complete any associated assignments, tests, etc. and submit them to FLVS.

Students at Socrates Preparatory School may choose to take additional FLVS courses up to a maximum of three courses equivalent to 3 credits annually and only two credits annually for students on the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) scholarships. Any additional courses a student wishes to take for credit at Socrates Preparatory School require special permission from the Director of Socrates Preparatory School. It is the responsibility of the parent and student to inform Socrates Prep in writing via email of their intention to enroll in FLVS courses during the summer prior to the school year. It is further the responsibility of the parent and student to keep up with deadlines and other requirements associated with FLVS for each term.

Please be aware that parents must provide Proof of Residency to FLVS before the student will be placed in a class. Also, students receiving the scholarships FES-EO or FES-UA will be required to pay for their FLVS course(s) unless other arrangements have been made with Socrates Prep administration.

While every effort will be made by Socrates Preparatory School to accommodate a student’s schedule regarding FLVS courses, there may be instances when accommodations cannot be made.
