High School: FLVS

Families of Faith Christian Academy International has a matriculation agreement with the Florida Virtual School that allows students to take classes from the Florida web-based public school system. Parents should be aware that the teachers and course material are provided by the state; therefore, the choice of curriculum content is waived. The Virtual School does give students the opportunity to take courses with no cost for materials, or paying a tutor. There is some flexibility in the student's day-to-day schedule; it's not 8:00-3:00 like a conventional classroom. But, there are course deadlines the student must meet to earn credit. If a student is enrolled in a course, the grade, whether good or bad, will become a part of that student's permanent record unless he or she withdraws from the classes before the withdrawal date deadline.

Courses that will not be approved:
Because of the change in the scientific method taught in the textbooks used by the Florida Virtual School, Families of Faith Christian Academy International will not approve course requests for science courses through FLVS.

In addition, most history and social studies courses will not be approved because a revision of history is not history. A social indoctrination based on a progressive, secular philosophy commonly found in the core value systems of socialists and humanists is not consistent with a biblical world view or a balanced understanding of history or thought.

For additional details on the basis for this policy, refer to the Curriculum Options tab to the right on this page.

To Enroll in the Florida Virtual School:
If you are enrolled in Families of Faith Christian Academy International, then you are a Private School Student, not a "homeschooler". You need to identify yourself as a:
   Private School Student
   The private school is in Polk County. 
   Choose Families of Faith Christian Academy International (1375) from the drop down list.

As a matter of policy, the office staff logs into the FLVS dashboard weekly to approve courses. When you sign up for a class, if you send the school office an email letting us know your have a course approval pending, that will speed up the approval process. Please include the parent and student names in the email notification.
