NOTE: Parents of Florida Unschoolers students using FLVS Flex curriculum will be asked to provide FLVS with some proof of residency (like a copy of your light bill or lease). You will receive an email from FLVS with information about where to upload the document to FLVS. Do not send it to Florida Unschoolers.
Florida Unschoolers is affiliated with FLVS (www.flvs.net) which means your child may use FLVS Flex curriculum.
Students may choose one FLVS Flex course to supplement their other learning or enough courses to create a complete curriculum.
Many Florida Unschoolers students have happily used the FLVS Flex option over the years but it is a choice, not a requirement.
If your child is interested in using this option, you will need to go to the website and set up an account with them. You would need to select private school (not homeschool), Martin County (that’s where I am), Florida Unschoolers and Nance Confer as Guidance Counselor. Choose a student ID number you will remember if the FLVS system asks you for one.
You request a course and it shows up on my FLVS Flex page. I verify enrollment and that is the end of my involvement. You do not need to email me about approving the course. Check your child's Flex account to see approvals done and when a Flex teacher is assigned.
Your child will be assigned to a class and that teacher will contact you. It can take up to a couple of weeks for that to happen.
There will be frequent, regular contacts with the FLVS Flex teacher. While there is no FSA or other standardized testing required of FLVS Flex students, there will be tests and quizzes and deadlines appropriate to each class.
It is a good idea to start with one course while you and your child get used to the way FLVS Flex works. Available courses are listed here: https://www.flvs.net/
Taking courses through FLVS Flex does not result in a public school diploma. If your child is enrolled with FLVS Full-Time, that is public school enrollment and all of the public school standardized testing and curriculum requirements would apply.
