Club Awards Day
FLVS held its annual Club Awards Day on May 4 in Orlando, Florida. Under the direction of Mae Martin, Clubs & Activities Coordinator, FLVS Flex and FLVS Full Time students were recognized and celebrated for their dedication and accomplishments not only in their courses, but for their participation in extra-curricular activities. The awards recognized students who embodied the spirit of traditional students, while fully embracing FLVS core values, and achieving excellence and innovation in our clubs.
In addition to these awards, FLVS recognized five students for their exemplary academic efforts, community service, citizenship, volunteer service, and leadership.

Do the graduates of this school receive a traditional diploma from OC PS? Thanks
Hi Ann. Students who attend FLVS Full Time (our full-time public school option) do receive a diploma from FLVS. Other students take FLVS Flex courses as a homeschool student or in addition to their traditional public or private school classes and receive their diploma there. Some Florida districts offer FLVS courses through their county virtual school (like Orange County Virtual School), but the details there depend on your local school district. Hope this helps!
