Schools

Schools are places or systems for learning or education and may be physical locations composed of a building or a campus that includes multiple buildings. Schools may also be virtual or online institutions that offer educational experiences and degrees. Schools are usually physical locations for children in grades 1-12, as well as kindergarten and pre-kindergarten (pre-K) classes.

In Florida, schools are regulated by the Florida Department of Education, which oversees both physical and virtual educational institutions. Physical schools include public, private, and charter schools that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Florida also has a Voluntary Prekindergarten Education Program (VPK) that provides free pre-K education to all 4-year-olds in the state. Additionally, Florida offers virtual schooling through the Florida Virtual School (FLVS), which is an accredited, public, online e-learning school serving students in grades K-12 statewide. FLVS is free to Florida residents and provides a variety of online courses that meet state standards. All public schools in Florida are required to follow the Florida Education Code, which sets forth the standards for operation, curriculum, and student performance.
