What Makes Us Great
We aim to inspire and enable our students to earn a high school diploma, while guiding them toward a pathway of success.
Learn About the Programs We Offer!
The Academy is a Simon Youth Foundation alternative high school of the Charlotte County Public School system, and is the place for a “second chance.” The Academy is a school of choice and students are chosen through an interview process to earn a seat in this unique learning environment.
Our PASS program is an innovative answer for students who may have fallen behind in middle school. This one-year program is designed to build skills and accelerate learning in order to enter high school on grade level. Entrance to the PASS program is only through your geographical school’s social worker. Online applications are not accepted.
Our HOPE program offers comprehensive services to help teen parents reach their academic goals!
The Academy houses 2 alternative programs where enrollment is based on the SERT (Suspensions Expulsion Review Team) decisions: SEA Program (Suspension Expulsion Alternative Program) & AAP Program (Afternoon Alternative Program).
Pathways
Our pathways program is designed to guide students with their post-secondary goals.
