Homestyle Micro-Private School & Tutoring Center
Building Strong Foundations to Create Successful Futures
Permission to Succeed Academy is now Permission to Succeed Education Center-A 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization
We partner with families (including homeschool families) 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 child has a different situation. 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 mastery-based, non-traditional, micro-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 (COC) 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 through the two Scholarship Funding Organizations: Step Up for Students and AAA Scholarship Foundation. These scholarships are the Family Empowerment Scholarships (FES-Income Based and FES for students with Unique Abilities formerly known as the Gardiner Scholarship and the McKay Scholarship), and FTC (Florida Tax Credit) Scholarship. ***There have been some major changes with these scholarships. Many more families qualify under the new guidelines. Apply Today.
Law Enforcement and Military families have automatic approval.
Our doors are open to any student who could benefit from our model, including students on an enrichment acceleration path. This means students can access Honors and Advance Placement courses and earn college credits based on their AP Exam scores or enrollment in Dual Enrollment College courses.
Although we have a program for everyone, our specialty is working with students who need foundational skill-building due to being behind one or more grade levels; are deficient in reading, language arts, and/or math skills; are behind in credits and need to catch up-credit recovery; 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 IS 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 Education Center.
We have partnered with TutorMe to provide OnDemand Tutoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Get the help you need at the exact moment you need it.
