About Us
We Are Here to Help-OPEN ENROLLMENT
Permission to Succeed Academy partners with families (homeschool families included) to provide self-paced in-person, hybrid and remote learning to students in Broward County, FL and students across the globe. We service students in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. We take education seriously by providing a unique environment of learning through one-to-one teaching, independent study and academic/life coaching for those students who need the flexibility to “do school their way”. Every child learns differently and every childs' situation is different. We take the time to listen to your concerns and develop a plan with you to get your child to the finish line.
We are a non-traditional private school, listed in the Florida Department of Education Directory under Broward County: School Code-9398. We service students from grades KG to 12th grade, as well as Certificate of Completion high school graduates. We have the passion and drive to help your child succeed. We believe every child deserves to learn in a judgement and bully- free environment.
We accept all state scholarships from Step Up for Students, AAA Scholarship Foundation and the McKay Scholarship. These scholarships include the Family Empowerment Scholarships (income based and for students with unique disabilities formerly known as the Gardiner Scholarship), and FTC (Florida Tax Credit). ***There have been many updates to these scholarships to include many families who otherwise would not qualify. So apply today.
Our doors are open to any student who would benefit from our model, including students on an enrichment acceleration path. This means students have access to Honors and Advance Placement courses and can earn college credits based on their AP Exam scores. Although we have a program for everyone, our specialty is working with students who are over-aged for their grade level, are deficient in reading and math skills, are behind in credits and need to catch up, and Certificate of Completion graduates who need to take the ACT or SAT to trade in their COC for their High School Diploma.
****NEWS ALERT: DUAL ENROLLMENT TO LOCAL COLLEGES NOW AVAILABLE TO PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENTS FOR FREE****
We give all students the tools to overcome their challenges; we are here to help. We are Permission to Succeed Academy.
