McKay Scholarship Program
Florida's school choice programs ensure that no child will be left behind by allowing parents to choose the best educational setting—public or private—for their child.
The McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program provided over 26,000 Florida students with special needs the opportunity to attend a participating private school during each school year. The McKay Scholarships Program also offers parents public school choice. A parent of an eligible special needs student may choose to transfer the student to another public school.
"The school-choice issue is not about public versus private; it's about choice. It's about knowing what works well for my family and being able to make that choice for them."
— Parent of a McKay Scholarships Student
FINANCIAL AID
Step Up For Students Scholarship
Step Up For Students was created to help alleviate the enormous educational challenges faced by children in Florida who live in or near poverty. The program provides Tax Credit Scholarships to students in K-12 who come from low-income families.
These scholarships allow the students to consider a participating private school or an out-of-district public school that may better suit their individual needs, an option which already is available to families of greater financial means. This choice is not based on whether the public school is judged as succeeding or failing. Rather, it recognizes that different children learn in different ways and that our collective struggle is to help the students who often are at the greatest disadvantage in modern education.
TUITION
Affordable Cost for Families
We have worked hard as a board at Cambridge Prep Academy, to ensure our cost for tuition is kept low. Our goal and focus is to provide a highly excelled program for average American families who could not otherwise afford a private education. These fees will be discussed at an interview and tour of our school. Upon acceptance all fees and cost associated are reviewed. There is a $250 registration fee if accepted.
Our clusters are kept small to provide a well- balanced education and therefore classes do fill quickly.
We have a high return rate. To allow our families to re-enroll, we offer open enrollment starting February 1.
