Florida Virtual School Celebrates 25 Years! Florida Virtual School (FLVS) was founded in 1997 as the first statewide, Internet-based public high school in the United States. It started out, 25 years ago, as a state-funded pilot program in two Florida school districts with 77 students and five course offerings. FLVS was soon recognized as its own school district in 2000 and now serves K-12 students in multiple ways: as a Florida school district, as a virtual course provider for other Florida districts and as a content provider nationwide for both in-person and virtual instruction through its FlexPoint program. FLVS has gained accreditation from respected regional accrediting agencies, including the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI), Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), a division of Cognia. Its core courses are also approved by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA ). To learn more about FLVS’s history, its successes, challenges and vision moving forward, ExcelinEd spoke with John Winn, who formerly held roles as an education policy advisor to Governor Jeb Bush and Commissioner of Education in Florida, and, ExcelinEd interview with Dr. Louis Algaze, President and CEO of FLVS.
