We are fortunate to have an affiliation agreement with the Florida Virtual School Flex Program. This means that all currently enrolled HPA middle and high school students residing in Florida may register and participate in the FLVS Flex Program free of charge*. (Please do not confuse this with the FLVS Full-Time K-12 program, a public school NOT affiliated with HPA.) For middle and high school students residing out of State/Country, FLVS is also an option. FLVS Global is available to you; however, there is a fee for the service. Please visit https://flvs.net/global-school for more information.
Elementary-aged students in grades K-5 residing in Florida may also participate in the FLVS Flex Program free of charge*. Please be aware that there are some differences in the requirements for the elementary program. Please visit https://flvs.net/elementary for more information.
Instructions for registration in FLVS Flex:
If you wish to use this service, please click the applicable links on this page. When registering with FLVS Flex, ensure to sign up as a private school student. If you are asked for a student ID number, use your student’s social security number (you may need to add an ‘x’ to the end of the SSN). Select Escambia County as your district, as our school is located there. A drop-down box will appear with a list of available schools; choose Hillcrest Private Academy. For the guidance counselor, select Sabrina Hill. If Sabrina’s name does not appear as an option, you have either registered incorrectly and must repeat the steps above, or you can contact FLVS customer service for assistance.
After the registration process is complete, please send us an email, text, or message containing your child’s name, letting us know you have courses awaiting approval. ie. “Jane Smith is awaiting course approval on FLVS.” Then please allow up to 48 business hours for us to approve your classes. Every time you register for classes, you must inform us so we may approve the classes. Please note that FLVS will tell you they have informed us you are awaiting approval, but they have not. You must inform us!
Withdrawing from FLVS Flex courses after registration is simple. Please note that you have a 14-day window from the start of the course to drop it. If you need to withdraw after this 14-day period, you must contact the teacher directly. Since FLVS Flex is used as a homeschooling resource while enrolled with HPA, withdrawing from courses will not affect your student’s records or transcripts.
FLVS Flex Withdrawal Process
To withdraw from an FLVS Flex course, follow these steps:
Log in to your FLVS account and navigate to the “My Courses” page.
Locate the course you wish to withdraw from and click on the course name.
Select the “Drop Course” option on the course details page.
Confirm the withdrawal by following the prompts.
If you need to enroll in a different course, use the “Drop Course” option to remove the incorrect course and then enroll in the correct one. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact FLVS support for assistance.
FLVS Flex is just one curriculum option available to students of HPA. It is an option and by no means a requirement of enrollment in HPA.
*All FLVS Flex registered students must provide FLVS with proof of Florida residency to use this service free of charge. If your student receives Florida School Choice scholarships, each FLVS course MUST be paid with scholarship funds. FLVS will send you invoices each time you register for courses. If they are not paid, FLVS will drop the courses.
