Home Ed Registration & Information

Home Education Enrollment & Information

In addition to our full-time program, Orange County Virtual School offers courses to Home Ed students. It is important to know that the State of FL diplomas are only available to students registered as full-time OCPS students. All successfully completed coursework offered by OCVS is applied to the transcript. Therefore, home education students may return to the zone school or apply to be a full-time student at OCVS in the 12th grade.

Standardized testing is arranged with the zone school by the parent. Materials, including digital devices, are not provided to home education students.

Orange County Virtual is not responsible for promoting homeschool students to the next grade level. Home Ed students are required to turn in their yearly evaluations to the Home Ed Department. To be enrolled as a Home Ed student, parents must complete the Letter of Intent with the Orange County Home Education Department.

If you have already completed the Home Ed. Letter of Intent, use the links below to get started.

State and District Testing for Home Education/ Flex

If you are choosing to have your student participate in end-of-year State and District Assessments, please reach out to your student’s zoned school to make these arrangements. OCVS does not administer these assessments for Home Education/OCVS Flex students. Testing begins in early April. Be sure to make arrangements with your student’s zoned school several weeks in advance.
