The FLVS FT field trip addressed four separate science education benchmarks required by the state of Florida.
From historic Key West to the capital city of Tallahassee, Florida’s diverse resources are part of the curriculum at FLVS FT. The virtual public school hosts frequent field trips throughout the state that bring classroom lessons to life through nature outings that highlight Florida’s wildlife and ecosystems; history tours that trace the impact of the past on the present; and museum visits and excursions that connect classroom concepts to real-world applications.
