FLVS is terrible unless you're taking driver's ed. The classes are very difficult, which can seem like it would be a good thing because you kids might learn more but it causes so much stress it causing the child to hate the application. The DBA's (which is where you have to set up a time to have a phone call with your teachers) are terrible. Not only is it stressful for the student because some teachers do not specify what questions they will be asking, but the process of trying to even set up a time slot is horrid. These teachers have so many students the earliest in most cases that you can set up a time for a call is in the middle of the day, FOUR weeks from when you set up your time slot. Not only is the website terrible in actual application but it looks as though you've gotten malware on your computer. If you are looking to take the "Flex" course over the summer DON'T. FLVS likes to advertise as "It's something you can go whenever and is able to bend around your schedule!" I thought that as well, so I took Spanish One online over the summer, easy grade right? NOPE. It is now quarter two of my in person school and I still am struggling to finish the course when I started it at the beginning of summer because of all the work for a SPANISH ONE class where they expect you to be fluent in the language. All in all I think the only decent class that FLVS has to offer is driver's ed, and that would be mainly because of how quick and painless it was. There was only one dba that you took before the final exam, and the lessons were not 5,000 pages long with essay style questions, in a different language for a beginner class. Spare your child and yourself the headache and just go to a different program, even ABC Mouse would teach you more than this, and wouldn't make you feel as stupid in the process.

With hatred for FLVS~
