Osceola Virtual School is our district's virtual (online) school for grades K-12.  We provide online independent learning curriculum and instruction for school-aged students residing in Osceola County, Florida. We primarily serve students in public schools (including charter schools) and home education. 

Students who are enrolled will not follow a traditional bell schedule.  Students will have the flexibility to access their lessons 24/7.  Students will need to be independent learners as the teachers are only available in a supporting role.  Students will still follow the school district calendar.

To qualify for full-time enrollment at OVS, students must have the following:

• Score at grade level on all state and district assessments (Level 3 or above)
• Have a 2.0 cumulative GPA, C average and no D’s or F’s
• High school students should be on track to graduate

Full-time students are in our public school program and receive all of their instruction through our school. They do not participate in any classes at their home zoned school.

Part-time students are registered and attending classes at a local, brick and mortar school and are taking 1-2 classes with OVS.  Virtual classes can be taken as part of the school day or outside the school day, and must be approved by the student’s school counselor.

Home Education/PEP Scholarship is considered part-time. Families may apply anytime throughout the academic school year. Students may take up to 6 classes at once and must be approved by the student’s parent/guardian.

OVS enrolls Full-Time students twice per year, at the beginning of each semester (August, January).  Application and registration deadlines apply.  For specific information about those deadlines and process, you can visit our admissions page. 

Part-time students can enroll during the academic school year.  Students may take up to 2 courses and all courses are to be completed within the regular school calendar year. Check with your local school counselor for details. 

Home Education/PEP Scholarship Families are considered part-time.  Families may register and complete courses during the regular school calendar year. Students may take up to 6 classes at once. Submit your letter of intent (found at the Home Education Department website) to the Home Education Department via email homeeducation@osceolaschools.net and copy both of our counselors Katelyn Morgan (katelyn.morgan@osceolaschools.net) and Taylor Donovan (taylor.donovan@osceolaschools.net). Once you receive your letter confirming registration with Home Education, you may register and approve your child’s courses. Home Education families are responsible for course planning and progression. The School District of Osceola County is not authorized to issue a diploma to home education students.

Both programs utilize the same online curriculum and platform (FLVS). OVS classes are taught by Osceola County teachers and follow the district academic calendar. OVS teachers are available by phone and Zoom, and you may also reach out to our local school office in St. Cloud. OVS has Dual Enrollment opportunities for our full-time students with Valencia and oTECH.

Yes, all students will need access to a computer, the internet, and a printer.
