My son has been at FLVS for 2 1/2 years. We both LOVE it. Online virtual school is definitely not for every child, but it certainly works better for us. He is currently in the 9th grade. As a parent, my favorite thing about FLVS is that the students can often re-do projects and tests to improve their grades and understanding of the material. For example, he had a math exam once. He told me that he was prepared for it. He took the exam and failed it. So, we had the option of either moving on to the next unit (which is pretty much required in a regular classroom) or re-taking the exam. He called his teacher via Skype, she explained everything to him, he re-took the exam and aced it! Yes, he had to do double work to improve his grade, but he learned the material before moving on to the next unit. Two thumbs up!!!!! PS: Lisa Beatty was his awesome 8th grade math teacher!!!!!
