PINELLAS VIRTUAL K-12

PINELLAS VIRTUAL K-12 is a Title I public school that is part of the PINELLAS school district, located in ST. PETERSBURG, FL with about 24 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, PINELLAS VIRTUAL K-12 has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

PINELLAS VIRTUAL K-12 (PVK-12) is a tuition-free, online public school option offered by Pinellas County Schools. Designed for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, the program provides a flexible, student-centered learning environment that allows pupils to complete their coursework from home or any location with internet access. The curriculum is delivered through a digital platform, allowing students to learn at an accelerated or moderated pace that best fits their individual academic needs and personal schedules.

Because it is part of the Pinellas County school district, PVK-12 follows state standards and is taught by highly qualified, Florida-certified teachers. The school is an excellent fit for students who require a non-traditional setting, such as those pursuing extracurricular activities, students who thrive in self-directed environments, or families looking for a personalized educational experience. Students enrolled in the program maintain their affiliation with the district, meaning they are eligible to participate in extracurricular activities and sports at their zoned brick-and-mortar schools, and high school graduates earn a standard Florida high school diploma.
