Florida Department of Education approves 2Sigma School Courses
Tallahassee, FL (February 20, 2024) —
2Sigma School, an accredited instruction partner with high schools offering live classes in computer science,
received approval status for four courses under
Section 1003.499, Florida Statutes, for grades 9-12, from the Florida Department of Education. The approved courses include
AP Computer Science A and
AP Computer Science Principles —
two of the most popular courses among high school students.
Florida house bill 495 (2018) required all middle and high schools to
offer computer science or provide students access via the Florida Virtual School
or other means if the district is unable to provide access.
"2Sigma School is proud to be the only approved course provider that specializes in offering live instructions in a choice
of over 10 computer science courses, ranging from AP Computer Science, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, and Generative AI," shared Vishal Goenka, founder/CEO.
"We are excited to serve middle and high schools in Florida and receive approval from Florida Department of Education for our most popular courses."
To receive approval from Florida Department of Education, a course provider must demonstrate their commitment and track record to meet the highest standards
in educational outcome and alignment to Florida's Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards and
Florida's state academic standards.
Dr. Paul O. Burns, Chancellor of Public Schools, issued
this memo
to school district superintendents on February 16, 2024, announcing the newly approved courses for school district online
course providers.
