Why families look for Florida Virtual School alternatives
- Flex is not a school of record and issues no diploma
- Full Time enrollment opens only before each semester, and spots are not guaranteed
- Self-paced courses demand self-discipline
- Out-of-state tuition through FlexPoint adds up quickly per course
- Families outside Florida who want a free option (check your own state's virtual school)
- Homeschoolers who want a diploma from Flex, which does not issue one

Can a scholarship pay for any of these?
