FLVS HOPE

All students are required to obtain 1 credit in Physical and Health Education during their high school years. There are two ways to fulfill this requirement. Students can take the on-campus class Personal Health and Wellness (one semester, 0.5 credit) and any 0.5 credit on-campus PE class OR they can enroll in the 1 credit HOPE (Health Opportunities through Physical Education) course through Florida Virtual School (https://www.flvs.net)*.  Students taking the HOPE class must complete both sections. This may be completed at any time before graduation, including during the summer. When registering for HOPE, do not use a student's Canterbury email account, as these cannot receive email from outside servers.
 
*Exceptions to this may include transfer students who took an equivalent course at their previous high school. Please contact our Registrar for further information.

Community Service

All Upper School students, who attend all four years at Canterbury, must have a minimum of 100 community service hours to graduate. Additionally, all Upper School students have an annual community service requirement. New students will be expected to fulfill the required hours for the years they attend Canterbury.

Seniors must have completed their annual requirement as a prerequisite to beginning their I.S.P. (Independent Senior Projects). Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen are expected to have their annual requirement completed prior to the last day of school.

Annual Requirement
  • Freshmen 20 hours
  • Sophomore 20 hours
  • Juniors 30 hours
  • Seniors 30 hours
  • National Honor Society members have an additional requirement of 15 hours of community service during the year of their induction and 30 hours thereafter.
  • Bright Future Scholarship requirements
    • Florida Academic Scholars Award (FAS) (This is the top award for which many of our students qualify.) NOW REQUIRES 100 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE BY GRADUATION
    • Florida Medallion Scholars Award (FMS) (Those Canterbury students who do not qualify for FAS often qualify for FMS) NOW REQUIRES 75 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE BY GRADUATION (No previous community service requirement)
    • Florida Gold Seal Vocational Scholars Award (GSV) (Does not usually apply to Canterbury students) NOW REQUIRES 30 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE BY GRADUATION (No previous community service requirement)
Community Service hours completed during the summer will be applied towards the next school year's requirement, provided that the student has already satisfied the previous year's requirement.
