Why I’m Sticking With FLVS Flex this Spring

By Guest Blogger on February 4th, 2021

When we decided to add in some classes from Florida Virtual School (FLVS) I wasn’t sure what to expect. We have been homeschooling for a few years, but 2020 changed everything and we needed a new plan. I turned to FLVS Flex to fill in some of the gaps. In the process I found an online option that my kids love.

Here are 4 reasons why we are sticking with FLVS Flex this spring.

We are celebrating the 2016-17 school year with a blog series featuring FLVS faculty and staff. Meet the creative and dedicated individuals who make every day a great day at FLVS!

Therefore, moving to the Curriculum Department was a seamless move, as she uses her expansive literacy and science knowledge to support rigorous content for a variety of FLVS courses.

It is my honor to introduce you to Christina Steele. Continue reading
