Frequently Asked Questions


1. Is your school accredited?

We obtained national accreditation status through the National Private Schools Accreditation Alliance in January 2004. Not only has the school, itself, received this exceptional status, but our administrator is listed nationally as a Professional Private School Administrator, and all of our teachers are certified as Professionally Accredited Private School Teachers. This is a tremendous honor for our school, faculty, and staff! Most importantly, it guarantees that your child can graduate with an accredited High School Diploma!

2. How many students are in a class?

We are very proud to carry a 1:12 Teacher/Student ratio! In a small class environment, students receive more individual assistance and attention, resulting in better student achievement.

3. Is it possible for my child to graduate with a regular diploma, even though they may be participating in a special education program?

In many cases, the answer is yes! We accommodate your child's needs as much as possible to give them the opportunity to grasp concepts in their own way, and at their own pace. Many children who learn differently have hidden "gifts" which can help them to excel. We implement a multiple intelligence approach to learning which helps children find their gifts and learn in their individual style.

4. Do regular education students attend this school with special education students?

Yes, all parents with a desire to educate their child in a nurturing and artistic environment are welcome to apply. Our cooperative learning environment is advantageous for all students, not just those in special education. It is our administrator's belief that all children deserve the same opportunities for individual interactions with a teacher in a small class environment. All children can benefit from a holistic approach which submerses its students in the arts, humanities and creative expression.

5. Private school education is so expensive. How can I afford to enroll my child in your school?

If your child is enrolled in a public school in Florida, and has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), they are automatically eligible for the McKay Scholarship, which is intended to pay for private school tuition. We also participate in the Corporate Tax Scholarship Program, deemed the Florida Pride Scolarship. For students without scholarships, we have a reasonable payment plan and will do our best to accommodate your personal financial situation.

6. Where is your school located?

We are located at 4408 George Rd., near the intersection of Memorial Hwy. and George Rd. Our location, in Town and Country, is one of a few schools in West Hillsborough County which services students with special learning needs. We welcome you to set an appointment to tour our school!

7. How do I start the enrollment process?

It's so simple! Just call (813)880-0916 and request a meeting with the Principal, Dawn White, to get the necessary paperwork and reserve a seat for your child. If you would like for us to e-mail, snail-mail or fax you an enrollment packet, we can do that too. Please take note, though, that space is limited and slots are filling up fast!
