View the webinar “Out of Box Thinking Leads to Success”

Fifteen years ago educators, political leaders, business people, and the community gathered around a conference table and created Florida Virtual School.  The first order of business was to declare all the old rules for an education organization could be put aside.  What they created was not like anything that had been tried before.  Today FLVS serves hundreds of thousands of students in the State of Florida and around the world.  In this webinar, learn what happens when traditional rules are put aside and the students come first in learning.  Take the journey with Andy Ross, VP FLVS Global Division, as to how the organization operates within the State of Florida but now also serves students in all 50 US states and 67 countries.
