General FAQs

FLCCA offers full-time enrollment for grades K–12.

The core courses are English/language arts, math, science, and history. There are also other courses and electives at the appropriate grade levels, such as art, health/PE, music, and world languages.

Yes. We provide textbooks and instructional materials. These books and materials are dependent on the student’s grade level and the courses they’re enrolled in. High school students receive fewer books and materials than elementary and middle school students.

The elementary program can offer flexibility within the parameters specified by state law or as set forth by the guidelines and expectations of our Students on Asynchronous Requirements (SONAR) program.

Students complete lessons in synchronous and asynchronous sessions and are expected to complete, quizzes, tests, and other assignments in a timely manner.

In the younger grades, many of the online lessons include offline work. Students in grades K–2 spend about 30–40% of their time on the computer, while students in grades 3–5 spend about 50–60% online. Screen time increases in middle school, and by high school, most of the school day is online.

Time online could be spent working on asynchronous lessons, working in live online sessions with teachers, and collaborating with peers on engaging assignments and projects. Students also do hands-on science experiments, read novels, and complete math problems that are done without the computer.

We believe in a balanced approach toward education. Computers help us provide you with effective assessment, planning, and time-management tools. Computers also act as powerful teaching tools that motivate, stimulate, and inform children about the world around them. They do not, however, replace a solid education. Instead, they help facilitate one. That’s why we use a unique multimedia approach that includes traditional books, workbooks, and instructional materials.

Depending on a child’s Individualized Education Program, we can tailor learning to meet your student’s needs.

To discuss your child’s needs with us, please contact our office and we’ll put you in touch with our special education team.

Yes. The program is flexible to meet children where they are in any given subject and take them where they want to go. We use the rigorous K12 curriculum, which is well-suited to the needs of academically advanced students. Our teachers work directly with parents and students to ensure proper placement into the curriculum. High school students can take honors courses.

Throughout the year, students will be invited to participate in school outings, field trips (e.g., to historical sites, museums, zoos), picnics, and other social events. In addition, local groups of students and parents can get together on their own. Students can also participate in school and K12 online national clubs to connect with peers who share similar interests and passions.

Students are expected to be on camera during live sessions. Backgrounds of your home may be visible to others in those sessions. There are no home visits as part of the program and no other intrusions into your home.

FLCCA provides McKinney-Vento/Homeless assistance and supports for eligible families who meet the definition as defined below.

According to section 725(2) of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 11434a(2)), the term “homeless children and youths”—

• (A) means individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence…; and
• (B) includes—
  • (i) children and youths who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement;
  • (ii) children and youths who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or ordinarily used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings;
  • (iii) children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings; and
  • (iv) migratory children who qualify as homeless for the purposes of this subtitle because the children are living in circumstances described in clauses (i) through (iii).

Children and youth are considered homeless if they fit both part A and any one of the subparts of part B of the definition above.
