How Online High School Works
Who can attend?
The Florida Cyber Charter Academy (FLCCA) high school program serves students in grades 9–12 who reside in the state of Florida.
What are the costs?
Because FLCCA is a public charter school program, it’s tuition-free. FLCCA provides Florida-certified teachers and all instructional materials for the program. However, students and families will be responsible for providing some consumable materials (such as printer ink and paper). FLCCA does not provide loaner computers and families must have their own working computer and access to high-speed internet to participate in online school.
Working with Your Teacher
While online lessons can usually be completed at any time of day, students will be required to attend live online sessions with their teacher(s) based on the student’s individual needs. During the live sessions, students will receive direct instruction from teachers and have opportunities to interact and collaborate with classmates. In addition to regular, synchronous classroom instruction, teachers may offer support or small group sessions to assist in student learning. Parents/Learning Coaches are encouraged to contact their child’s homeroom teacher any time they have questions or concerns.
Expectations for Completing Schoolwork
At FLCCA, student learning and academic growth are paramount. While we offer a level of flexibility, we recognize the importance of classroom pacing and the need for students to complete their work based on set due dates.
FLCCA high school uses a semester-based approach where students are required to earn a passing grade on their assignments and online lessons. Due dates are assigned to lessons to encourage consistent, steady progress for academic success.
Teachers provide group instruction through live online sessions. Students are expected to attend all live sessions, which vary by subject and are scheduled by their teachers. Attending these sessions, along with completing coursework, will help students be successful.
Email is the primary form of communication between the school and families. Learning Coaches and students are required to check and respond to emails on a daily basis.
State Testing
FLCCA students must comply with all Florida-mandated testing requirements.
