The FDOC Career Online High School is a partnership between Pensacola-based Smart Horizons Career Online Education, the first fully accredited, online school district in the world. The partnership with FDOC is the first of its kind in the nation for correctional facilities. "Our work with Smart Horizon Career Online Education on this effort is a tangible expression of our commitment to the Florida Department of Correction's vision of changing lives to ensure a safer Florida," said Dr. John L. Lewis, Chief of Education for the Florida Department of Corrections' Office of Re-Entry. "Earning a high school diploma is a very important event in people's lives and this is especially so for inmates who have traditionally faced educational challenges." The program was launched by the Florida Department of Corrections in 2012 in partnership with Smart Horizons Career Online Education, the world's first SACS accredited online school district. Inmates complete a career certificate as part of the program, so that they graduate with vocational skills that can be applied in a job post-release. The ultimate goal is to keep offenders from returning to prison. Read More. |
