The Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) manages the requirements to earn a high school diploma. Flagler Schools offers several options for students to meet these requirements.

Standard Diploma Requirements:

The FLDOE requires annual reporting and planning from school districts as specified in 1003.42(2), Florida Statutes. The report lists courses, materials, and methods for instruction of state-required subject matter.

The Student Progression Plan is a comprehensive plan for student progression established by the School Board. The plan defines procedures for the promotion and graduation of Flagler Schools students, in accordance with state and local student progression requirements. The purpose of this plan is to ensure that each student receives an appropriate educational foundation and has the best opportunity to succeed in school.

Flagler Schools’ K–12 curriculum is composed of a wide range of textbooks and other instructional materials. Each school year the district adopts a new curriculum in one major subject area according to the state of Florida's instructional materials adoption cycle. The instructional material adoption process includes opportunities for the public to review materials, provide feedback, and submit requests for the reconsideration of adopted materials.

The Comprehensive Health Education curriculum includes 14 components of health that are age and developmentally appropriate. All Comprehensive Health instructional materials are available for public review, and parents/guardians have the right to opt their student out of any portion of the curriculum.

Accelerated Programs are advanced high school academic programs designed to prepare students for postsecondary study and the workforce. Each high school offers students the opportunity to participate in academically challenging programs, enroll in postsecondary courses, and receive college credit.

The Under-aged GED Waiver program is designed for an individual who has reached the compulsory school age (16 or 17 years of age) and has formally withdrawn from their last school of attendance. There are two options to seek this waiver.

The State Board of Education requires instruction in child trafficking prevention and substance abuse education for students in grades K-12. Students in grades 6-12 are also required to receive five hours of resiliency instruction every year. The State of Florida has provided districts with required Resiliency Education topics that MUST be taught to students in grades 6 - 12. These topics in the area of Civic & Character Education and Life Skills Education build confidence and support mental health to develop and prepare you to become more resilient students.
