Question 1

What kind of school is Dream Academy?

Accepted Answer

Dream Academy is a Hybrid-HyFlex School. This model provides a minimized grade/class/course structure with open schedules and full online access.  We provide 100% flexibility for on-campus or remote learning.  Our curriculum consists of 100% digital courses and libraries, selected and sequenced so that students can pace individually.  We also provide regular live teaching, where teachers customize and create enrichment and/or remedial work.  We are student-centric, where students work at their own pace.

Question 2

Can I work totally online? What are the attendance requirements?

Accepted Answer

All of Dream Academy's classes can be taken 100% online.  Our Learning Centers are available to support students who need the in-person approach.      Please note:  Some Scholarship/Voucher options require specific levels of direct contact between Learning Coaches and Students.

Question 3

Do I need to pass the FSA or EOCs?

Accepted Answer

Private schools are not required to administer standardized testing for graduation.  Dream Academy does not force students to pass a 'test' to progress.  We do not teach to the test and we do not put undue pressure on students.     Dream Academy does administer placement and growth assessments, but these are simply to help the students and to ensure we can close any gaps in their education.  This also helps us track our success and provide detailed feedback to parents.  These tests DO NOT impact progression or graduation.

Question 4

Can I graduate early? Do I have to attend all 12 years?

Accepted Answer

Dream Academy is competency-based.  You can work at your own pace.  If you need additional time, you can have it.  If you want to accelerate your schooling, you can do that too!   We have a 3-Year Dual AA Degree/High School Diploma option for those students that excel and want to move on to the next steps as quickly as possible.  There is no age requirement for graduation, only academic requirements.

Question 5

What are your admission requirements?

Accepted Answer

Dream Academy does not have any specific standards for admission.  We want families to feel that our unique and different approach is a good fit.  We accept students from ages 4 through 21.  All we require is a desire of the student to learn and participate in their education.   We accommodate most special needs and do not discriminate on any basis.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Please see our Tuition and Financial Aid section of our website.

Question 7

What kind of Diploma do I get?  Is it a regular Diploma?  Will it be accepted at colleges?

Accepted Answer

Dream Academy offers a full High School Diploma.  We DO NOT offer 'Certificates of Completion' or any other substandard option.   All of our programs follow Florida Graduation Requirements.  We are currently in the process of obtaining Accreditation from Cognia (formerly AdvancED).  Our 'Official' Status is "Candidate for Accreditation".  We are working diligently to become fully accredited by the end of 2022.   We are a recognized Private School by the Florida Department of Education, School Code 9366.
