Students throughout Florida have more options than ever for how and where they learn

As students throughout Florida begin the new school-year, there’s more interest in alternatives to in-school education—from online schooling at home, to career-certifications that start as early as middle school. In fact, Florida is among the states whose virtual-school enrollments have continued to rise, even after the pandemic. Laura Downes is the director of schools at “Digital Academy of Florida”… “We currently enroll more than six-thousand virtual students, across the state. And, in June, almost 40-percent of our 390 graduating seniors walked away with industry-certifications. Recent legislation on school-choice and workforce-training is opening the door for more parents to help their children find the best ‘K-12’ school and postsecondary path for their goals and interests.” “Digital Academy of Florida” is a statewide program of “Hendry County District Schools”.
