Here is a detailed honest review about FLVS Flex:
If you want to enroll your child as a full time homeschooler, say hello to FLVS Flex! In my opinion, this program is much better than the full time homeschool program, because you are able to design your classes to your needs and schedule. Also, FLVS Full Time issues a diploma because they are an online PUBLIC school, but FLVS Flex DOES NOT. issue you a diploma, because you are working on your own time and considered a homeschool student where your parent s your counselor. This means that your parent will have to say that you have completed high school since they are your counselor. But you don't have to get your GED or do an alternative graduation assignment, and graduating as a homeschool student is still valid for college, you won't have any problem getting accepted as homeschool, public school, and private school are all means of legal education in the U.S, which is really cool.
Also, classes are designed very well, easy to navigate. You just have to be self-disciplined when it comes to homeschool. 3 assignment submissions per week is the MINIMUM which is really fair. DBAs aren't actually that bad, so long as you take notes and actually take the course. Also, if you consider yourself an honors student, beware because the honors pace, assignments, and expectations are for more difficult than regular classes, even though you're learning the same material. I'd recommend regular classes fr everything- same material, less stress, keeps you focused so you LEARN instead of rushing through to FINISH.
The only problem that I've faced is lack of direction. Although you can email your teachers if you have a question, it's hard when you have to navigate through an assignment by yourself, and you have to figure out what they're asking for. Also, pretests at the beginning of lessons are annoying because they're an actual test grade, and it's all about stuff you don't know. But eventually it'll be balanced out if you do well on all of your other assignments, but it still brings your grade down. I would definitely create your own PERSONAL pace chart for week by week. Social studies classes come with note taking guides and are very helpful, but classes like English and math, well, you're on your own for that, which makes it really hard to retain information. I'd recommend note taking guides on ALL classes to guide students through lessons to help them pick out important versus non-important info.
