ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Virtual School enrollment for elementary and middle school students was set to end Friday, but officials announced they will extend the sign-up period until mid-August to give families more time to make their education plan for the 2021-2022 school year.
The deadline for ninth through 12th grade still ends Friday, but kindergarten through eighth-grade students now have until Aug. 13 to enroll, according to a news release.

Across Florida, school districts offered three learning options last year due to the coronavirus pandemic: Florida Virtual School, hybrid and in-person. However, all schools in Central Florida have done away with hybrid learning which included online classes lined up with a student’s regular class schedule. Many have also removed the requirement for students and staff to mask up, making face coverings optional.
During the 2021-22 school year enrollment, FLVS has seen an unprecedented enrollment and continues to outpace pre-pandemic levels, according to a news release.
Students and parents can visit flvs.net to sign up for full-time enrollment. FLVS also offers online courses for students not enrolled online full-time, known as FLVS Flex. Students residing outside of Florida can also enroll in FLVS Global School at flvsglobal.net.
