Seminole County Schools recognizes that today’s students learn in different ways, at different rates, and on different schedules. Our schools now offer the flexibility to accommodate today’s students and families through a variety of choice programs that include magnet schools and programs of emphasis, as well as virtual options for full-time Kindergarten through grade twelve students and part-time virtual coursework for students in grades six through twelve. These programs offer a wide-range of acceleration opportunities, as well as credit recovery and remediation, through blended schedules that permit students to take some face-to-face courses and some virtual courses, depending on each student’s most optimal learning situation.
Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, Seminole County, students will have the opportunity to choose the education pathway - the ePathway - that best suits their learning style, personal interests and academic strengths. Students will have a variety of course options, both core and elective, that can be taken in a modern classroom setting or in a virtual environment. Students may choose any blend of virtual and traditional classes, including a full-time schedule of online courses, while remaining publicly enrolled in their school, and participating in the extracurricular activities of their choice. Virtual classes can be taken either in a lab setting at the school or in their home environment.
	Examples of the 2012-13 expanded choices include middle and high school computer labs that will be open for extended hours so students can access virtual classes beyond the school day, which allows students to either attend school during traditional hours or create a flexible schedule. High School students will also have the opportunity to participate in college level courses through the Advanced Placement Program, college dual enrollment and access to courses (including online courses) in the State University System. Students can matriculate credits towards an A.A. or A.S degree while still enrolled in high school.
Elementary schools are designing plans to increase options for students to accelerate via virtual school course work and unique environments for supporting both full-time and part-time virtual access. The goal is to provide flexibility and meet individual student needs.
Through these options, Seminole County students will experience a rigorous academic, individualized and flexible learning experience that best accommodates their individual needs, while participating in an array of extracurricular activities, performing arts, visual arts and athletic teams – The Triple A Experience!
