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 magnet programs, International Baccalaureate,
Advanced Placement classes, college and career dual
enrollment classes, Career Academies, 1:1 technology
opportunities, virtual programs and charter schools. Flagler
County is one of only two rural school districts in the state
offering the International Baccalaureate program.
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, Bethune Cookman University and
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 or the International
Baccalaureate program. 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.
