Established in September 2015, our goal at Florida Academy of Excellence (FAE) is to empower families to educate their children. We believe that families are the best decision-makers for their children’s education. Education in your child’s best interest looks different for every family, and often it looks different for every child within every family. FAE desires to help you choose the best methods, curriculum, and mode of teaching and learning for each of your children so that each child will develop a love of learning, a desire to excel, and a determination to succeed in all areas of learning and life.
