We list this school from the state’s official program list. It was not in the 2023-24 federal survey, so these facts come from the school’s 2024 annual survey to the Florida Department of Education, as its private school directory shows them. Enrollment counts kindergarten to grade 12. Ask the school for today’s figures. Where this comes from. Something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.
