Online Learning

Hernando County students have access to two online class platforms: Hernando County Eschool and Florida Virtual School.  Hernando County Eschool tends to be the most preferred, given the teachers are all here locally in Hernando County.  In some instances students will take an online class on Florida Virtual School, usually in the instances where the class the student wants to take is not available on Hernand ESchool.  Below is more information about each.
