It is also for parents who want to be involved in their child’s education.

    Who teaches the online courses?
    Our teachers are some of the best teachers in the state. All of our teachers are highly qualified and several hold National Board Certifications. All teachers as well will serve as subject matter experts and none will be considered out of field. We believe that the teacher can make a difference in the life of a child, and their positive relationship with the child and parent through their educational process will be a determining factor in their success.

    What is the difference between virtual and traditional students?

    Calendar

    Virtual students will follow the Duval County School Calendar. While students have day to day flexibility, they are expected to reach certain points in their courses by nine weeks and semester breaks.

    Communication

    Virtual students and parents will have immediate access to their progress and grades. However, virtual educators are required to communicate with the parent to review the child’s progress at least once a month. As a parent, you will notice the high touch and high value that the teacher has for your child.

    Curriculum

    Virtual students will follow the same Pupil Progression Plan as traditional students.

    School Hours

    Virtual students can work on their curriculum when it fits their needs and schedule. Flexibility in the day-to-day is completely up to the student and their parent/guardian. Students and parents will need to make sure they are aware of when their teachers are available should they need one on one assistance.
