There is no better time to invest in your child's education than during his or her most formative years in elementary, middle and high school - the years when faith, values and friendships are formed. At Hernando Christian Academy, teachers are committed to each child by helping to build a strong academic and spiritual foundation.

This branch of the Family Empowerment Scholarship Program is designed to offer families of students with disabilities, as young as 3 years of age, access to additional education options. Families may choose to enroll their student in another public school, or they may take the opportunity to receive a personal education savings account (ESA) for their student. With an ESA, parents receive a deposit of public funds into government-authorized savings accounts with restricted, but multiple, uses. An ESA can be used to fund not only items such as private school tuition and fees, but also online learning programs, private tutoring, community college costs, higher education expenses and other approved customized learning services and materials. Families apply and annually renew for participation in FES UA through one of the approved SFOs, which are responsible for determining eligibility, awarding and distributing funding to eligible student accounts, and approving eligible expenditures.

To expand educational opportunities for children of families that have limited financial resources and to enable children in this state to achieve a greater level of excellence in their education, the Florida Legislature created the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program in 2001. A student is eligible for a scholarship from a nonprofit scholarship funding organization through this program if the student is on the direct certification list, or the student’s household income level does not exceed 400 percent of the federal poverty level; or if the student is currently placed, or during the previous state fiscal year was placed, in foster care. Scholarship amounts may be obtained by contacting a scholarship funding organization directly.
