A MeaningFL Education

Choose the Education You Want

While the public school system provides steadfast options for families in Florida, the Department of Education knows there is no one-size-fits-all approach to education. Future Floridians can choose from a host of school districts, private schools, charter schools and even full-time virtual school (OLS) and homeschool options to find the best fit for their children.

Florida schools also offer certified teachers and learning coaches to help those who require a different school experience, which can be extended to online public schools.

On top of that, statewide scholarship programs help provide funding when needed, ensuring that Floridians never need to compromise on their most precious assets – their children.

Florida Puts Children First

Florida’s education, no matter the school, prioritizes student well-being and safety. Bringing your family to Florida means having a Department of Education that focuses on school safety. The department also offers all the mental and emotional support needed for children experiencing hardships. Moving to a new school can be difficult and intimidating, but having a system to help welcome students will make the transition smooth for students of all ages.

Florida Ensures Education for All Minds

Florida’s Department of Education understands that not every student will pursue higher education. A robust network of career and technical education services offers students the opportunity to gain certification in specialized fields, providing a clear path to future success.

These programs help target middle school and high school students looking for an alternative to traditional college education. With programs in everything from agriculture to hospitality, young learners can plan their own path in Florida, building success on their own terms. Florida also offers dual enrollment programs, allowing students to take college-level courses while completing high school.
