Curriculum

Instruction and Instructors

St. Johns Virtual currently offers a wide variety of middle and high school courses. Every SJVS course is taught by highly qualified, certified instructors—experts in their subject matters. Teachers and students interact regularly through email, voice mail, telephone conversations, and Instant Messenger. Teachers are available from 8 AM to 8 PM daily, as well as during weekend hours. Students are encouraged to contact the teacher when there is a need of any kind. Teachers speak via telephone with students and their parents at least once per month.

Accreditation

All the course offered at the St Johns Virtual School (SJVS) are leased from the Florida Virtual School (FLVS) in a franchise model. FLVS is fully accredited by two major agencies: The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and The Commission on International and Trans-Regional Accreditation. This accreditation covers all FLVS franchises.

Work Load Expectation

Each student is required to submit a specific amount of work each week to maintain the appropriate pace decided on by teacher and student. The number of required weekly submissions depends on the course taken. Failure to maintain pace will result in warnings, reduced grades and, if unheeded, withdrawal from the course.

The Pace Chart

All VS courses have a Pace Chart embedded in them. This allows students to know exactly what is expected to be submitted on a weekly basis, whether they choose a traditional, extended or accelerated pace. Teachers assist students in modifying the chart to reflect their chosen pace.

Completing Assignments

Upon entering the course, students have access to ALL assignments, but access to tests or quizzes may not be available until certain assignments have been completed. Students move sequentially through the course but may be allowed to occasionally move ahead or test out of certain areas, pending instructor approval.
