New Online School Now Accepting Enrollment for
the 2019-2020 School Year
Elementary, middle and high school students across the state are
invited to find the career path that works best for them at Florida
Online School (FL Online), a program of Hendry County District
Schools, that is now accepting enrollment applications for the
2019-2020 school year.
Through the school’s Destinations Career Academy, students can
pair a solid academic foundation with hands-on learning experiences
in growing career fields like advanced manufacturing, business, and
more. Even if a student doesn’t know exactly what they want to do,
career readiness programs help open a world of what’s possible.
Career readiness programs don’t just benefit students—they
benefit employers too. Across the state, “Only 46 percent of the
state’s workers are trained to the middle-skill level”1 or for jobs
that require education beyond high school but not a four-year
college degree. Career readiness programs are designed to help
bridge this gap.
“At FL Online, we believe that every student has the potential
for growth—they just need the right opportunity to get there,” said
Superintendent Paul Puletti. “Our teachers, staff, and
administrators are excited to welcome the school’s first cohort.
And we look forward to providing them with a personalized education
that works for them.”
In addition to career readiness courses, FL Online students have
access to a robust online curriculum and attend live virtual
classes taught by state-licensed teachers who help bring lessons to
life. Kindergarten through tenth-grade students are offered a full
course load in the core subjects of math, science, English language
arts, history, art and music, as well as a host of electives.
Teachers regularly communicate with students and their families via
email, phone and during small group and one-on-one meetings
online.
An online public-school program, FL Online is available
tuition-free to students who reside anywhere in the state. Many
families and students are choosing FL Online because it provides an
alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar education. Athletes,
advanced learners, and all types of students can balance a full
academic load along with extracurricular pursuits or any other
specialized needs.
Interested students and families are encouraged to attend online
information sessions hosted by the school. To learn more, visit
