Steps to Enrolling in the Home Education Program

The parent who assumes responsibility for educating a child at home may do so by providing the student's grade level, appropriate curriculum, and/ or use a virtual education program. If you choose not to use a virtual education program, proceed to the step for completing the Letter of Intent.

  • Before completing a Letter of Intent, please set up your child’s Orange County Virtual School (OCVS) or Florida Virtual School (FLVS) account.

    Orange County Virtual School

    Orange County Virtual School is a district-supported virtual school.

    Students who enroll in OCVS Flex are not awarded a high school diploma. Students enrolled in Home Education may return to their zone high school or may apply to be a full-time student at OCVS by the end of the first semester of 12th grade to be eligible for a high school diploma. 

     

    Please note: if your child has received a Level 4 infraction, they are ineligible to participate in OCVS and may be ineligible to register with FLVS. 

    To sign up for OCVS click the link below. You must use the FLVS portal to sign up for Orange County Virtual School. When completing the application you will be given a prompt to choose Orange County Virtual.
