FLAGLER SCHOOLS
PERSONALIZED LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES
The vision for Flagler County Schools is to become the Nation’s
Premiere Learning Organization. Each day, the administration
and staff works towards this vision by providing personalized
learning opportunities for students. This starts with the ability to
participate in School Choice Programs. The School Board and
staff embrace the concept of educational choice opportunities
for students and families. All students in grades K-12 have
opportunities for acceleration. At the elementary and middle
school level, students who meet specific criteria can qualify for a
mid-year promotion, full grade promotion or subject
acceleration.
Personalized learning opportunities are supported through
International Baccalaureate, Cambridge Advanced International
Certificate of Education, Advanced Placement classes, college
and career dual enrollment classes, Career Flagship Programs,
iFlagler Virtual School and charter schools.
Students’ individual needs are met through a variety of support
services including exceptional student education, tutoring and
mentoring. Students have the opportunity to tailor their learning
through acceleration and remediation programs based on their
learning styles.
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
Flagler County Schools prepares students for success in the
21st century in many different ways. In addition to its core
curriculum, 21st century skills such as critical thinking, creative
problem solving, communication skills, collaboration and
cross-cultural relationship building are integrated into the
school setting. Teachers work diligently to integrate these skills
into lessons and throughout the student day.
The district’s collaboration with Daytona State College, Embry
Riddle Aeronautical University, and the University of Florida
allows students to earn college credit while still in high school.
Students can also earn college credits by participating in
Advanced Placement classes, the International Baccalaureate
program and the Cambridge Advanced International Certificate
of Education. Students also have the opportunity to earn
industry certifications in a number of areas, so they can
immediately enter the workforce after graduation or pursue
postsecondary education. Additionally, Flagler Technical
Institute is a part of the Flagler County School District. FTI offers
certifications in numerous areas such to include the medical
field, cosmetology, early childhood and HVAC. These
opportunities are available as dual enrollment for our high
school students as well as for those in our community.
