Endorsement Pathways for Full-Time Students
Enrollment and course selection begins February 2, 2026.
Graduation Overview
The Foundation High School Program with an Endorsement (FHSP+E) is a flexible graduation program that allows students to pursue their passion and interests in preparation for high-wage, high-skill, and in-demand occupations. An endorsement is a specialized area of focus in a specific area of study. To earn an endorsement, students must complete a coherent sequence of courses for four or more credits. This includes one advanced course in the designated program of study, in addition to their other graduation requirements. Legacy Virtual High School offers four Endorsement areas:
- Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
- Arts and Humanities
- Business and Industry
- Multidisciplinary Studies
The Endorsement earned will be reflected on the student’s official transcript.
