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.” It is important to note that The Academy is a school of choice and students are chosen through an interview process to earn a seat in this unique learning environment.

With smaller class sizes and a flexible schedule, The Academy offers a multitude of academic opportunities that include our Pathways program.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the Pathway resources made available at The Academy as they plan their future.

  • Field trips and on campus counseling can help  students enter college
  • Job shadowing at a technical school
  • Connect with a recruiter to join the military
  • Assistance with job applications to join the workplace

The ultimate goal for each student is to complete all the requirements to earn a diploma and have a plan after high school. We have the faculty and staff dedicated to help every student accomplish their goal.

Applications for Fall 2026 will open in April
