Copied from the state record. School details here come from the Florida Department of Education Private School Directory (Broward district), pulled October 28, 2026.

Funding note: With a qualifying diagnosis or an IEP, a student may take the Unique Abilities Scholarship instead of the standard award, which in Broward is $10,658 to $9,865 a year at the standard level.
