SRVS classes are self paced, which means that the student has the flexibility to decide how quickly to complete the assignments. Each course states the number of lessons and the maximum time allowed for completion next to its description. Plenty of time is given for each course, as we have taken into consideration many scenarios that would delay a student's completion of a course.

Yes!  The student will receive a final grade from us upon completion of each course. This serves as an independent evaluation of your student’s performance. Thus, your student’s transcript will contain grades from someone other than yourself. For some college admissions officers, that will be an important validation of your homeschooling.

All of SRVS classes begin each day of the year. No more waiting for the next semester like with most online schools! Once you register, choose your classes and pay, your information will be submitted to the appropriate person for processing and a teacher will be assigned. This process may take up to 24 hours. Once a teacher is assigned, you will be able to begin your classes.

Real teachers grade and comment on assignments and oversee each student.  They are available by email to assist their students as needed, and you may contact them at any time. For a nominal fee you may also use our live tutoring service if needed. 

Yes, we offer placement testing for some classes.  If it is required, you will be notified at the time of signup. Our placement tests are designed to accurately place students in the correct skill level class for them personally.  They are based on minimum skill level requirements and not on age or grade mandated.  You may also request an assessment by email if desired.   

We employ different teachers for different reasons.  Some specifically write curriculum or classes that we offer on our site.  Other teachers oversee a specific class and actuallly grade the students' work and offer tutoring or support.  All of our teachers have experience in the field in which they are writing curriculum or in which they teach a course. Many have specialized certificates and degrees, and all are highly qualified. The majority of our teachers also work at our physical location in Florida directing live classes.  Please see our Teachers page for more information.

In addition to the instruction they receive online from the computer, students can ask questions of instructors by electronic mail, phone, or in ''virtual classroom'' sessions. This contact between students and instructors is an important part of the SRVS experience. To facilitate this type of interaction, the instructors keep detailed records on each student. This enables students to get rapid feedback on their work, while the instructors are able to maintain detailed records on the work of each student.

Certainly! The program was designed to offer comprehensive clasess with homeschooled and homebound students in mind, but students enrolled in public or private schools can benefit from the additional instruction we offer. The flexible schedule allows students from all situations to work on assignments after school, on the weekend, during summer break, or at any convenient time. We welcome participation from all students who are interested in excelling in their education.

SRVS cannot accept scholarship funds for Virtual school classes due to the specific laws that govern each state and each scholarship. 

Maybe. SRVS does incorporate the use of books, curriculum, student packs, and other supplies into some classes. Whether they are required or optional, if they are needed it will be listed under the class description. Please read all information pertaining to the class of interest before purchasing, so you clearly know any requirements or expectations.

At SRVS, we believe that a student should master the subject s/he has taken before moving on to the next level.  In some cases, a student may complete a class but not master the material and be ready to move on.  For whatever reason they need additional teaching, tutoring and/or course review. SRVS will make that determination and notify the parents (or registrant) if this situation should apply to your child.

We offer discounts for groups of 10 or more students within one family, group, or school.  The discount varies depending on the specifics needed.  Please contact us directly to receive this special information.  We will need your group or organization name, amount of students registering, and if you are seeking the private school option.  Please send email requests to admin@solidrockvs.com

It is important to check the local and state guidelines under homeschooling in your area, but in most cases, decisions like this are up to parents. Our class descriptions state what would be typical regarding the specific course.

If you are registered under our private school option, the answer is yes. 

Solid Rock Virtual School offers final grades for each completed class. If you are interested in report cards, credit, transcripts, and/or a diploma; please read our Credit and Transcripts page.  For an additonal fee, we will be happy to apply all of our class grades on your final transcripts, along with grades earned through other verifiable means. That would include other schools, programs and homeschool classes taught by a Parent. You can purchase this service directly through us on the check out page.  Our school Academic Advisor will contact you if additional information is needed and is available by email anytime you have questions.
