Attention! The 2024-2025 VFlex application is NOW OPEN.

VFlex

VFlex partners with traditional schools and home education families to expand educational options for students in grades 6-12. This flexible alternative satisfies a wide range of educational needs, accommodating everyone from students in traditional educational settings seeking additional courses to homeschooling families aiming to complement their existing curriculum. VFlex is open to registered Volusia County Schools students and students registered with VCS Office of Home Education.

All core courses and a variety of electives are offered; please see our Course Catalog for a complete list of our current offerings. Students will be scheduled for courses on the virtual education platform that best matches their academic, testing, and previous online learning experience, as well as the availability of courses on individual platforms. Students can request courses with VFlex via the VFlex application or by meeting with their school counselor.
