Welcome to St. Johns Virtual School!
St. Johns Virtual School is an online program of choice offered by the St. Johns County School District for grades K-12. We offer part time and full time enrollment. We offer enrollments from August until March of each school year. If students register before February, they can carry their enrollments into the summer. Enrollments are processed through the FLVS platform, but when registering, select SJVS to receive the same high-quality content, along with the support of a local teacher from the #1 school district in Florida.
St. Johns Virtual School is a virtual school where instruction is primarily provided in an online environment. Although being separated by time and location, students and teachers collaborate to achieve high levels of learning. The virtual environment offers students the flexibility to work at their own schedule and pace, choosing the time and place that suits them best. Success in a virtual setting relies on staying on track or ahead of schedule. Falling behind can make it difficult to retain information and increase the risk of failure.
St. Johns Virtual School brings together the best technologies, the best curriculum and most importantly, the best of St. Johns County teachers, who provide an incredible online experience for your child. We are committed to educating your student in the best possible manner to achieve the highest levels of learning. Teachers and families work together to build relationships that allow for a personalized learning experience for each individual student.
Today, students have a wide variety of learning options available to them. Here are some features that set St. Johns Virtual School apart from other learning environments:
- We are a public school with the St. Johns County School district. All our teachers are local, providing multiple opportunities for face-to-face meetings with teachers and other virtual students.
- Our program aligns with the Florida Standards and incorporates online resources, virtual lessons, teacher-led discussions, and diverse assessment tools to enhance the course curriculum.
- In the online learning program, virtual students can join live lessons conducted by their academic teachers. Teachers will provide students and learning coaches with the dates and times for each live lesson that is available. Active and engaging participation is expected from all students during these sessions.
- Starting with the 2022-2023 school year, SJVS has worked with FLVS to ensure that the curriculum incorporates the new B.E.S.T. standards.
- SJVS is a program of choice. This means that each semester, SJVS will have an enrollment period for students who reside in St. Johns County, to apply to our program. The Academic Acceptance Team carefully reviews each applicant to determine if this program is the right fit for the student’s unique needs.
SJVS expands the variety of academic opportunities for St. Johns County students and serves as one way to fulfill the online graduation requirement for Florida students. Students have the flexibility to work online anytime and anywhere.
