High School Diplomas Now Offered Through FLVS Global School and The Cottage School

 

ORLANDO, Fla. – (Jan. 14, 2013) — FLVS Global School, the premier online school for students in grades 6-12, has joined forces with The Cottage School (TCS) to offer students the chance to earn their high school diplomas online for the first time.

The Diploma Program option is designed for college- or career-bound U.S. students who want a diploma from an accredited high school.

As the national and international arm of Florida Virtual School® (FLVS®), FLVS Global School is able to offer NCAA-approved core courses as well as electives   and 16 Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The enrollment process is open year round.
Students also have the opportunity to collaborate with other students from around the world. In the Socratic Café, they can develop discussion, debate and presentation skills, or work with others on science, business, literature or language projects. Students can also participate in extracurricular activities, such as Spanish and English Honor Societies, International Club, Future Business Leaders of America, Science Club and Newspaper Club.
