DID YOU KNOW?

Charter schools serve more than 14% of all students enrolled in Florida's public schools, providing families with high-quality educational choices across the state.

As nonprofit public schools, many charter schools are designed around specialized programs and unique educational models that may not be available in traditional school settings, or are offered with a greater level of focus and depth. These programs can include leadership development, military-based education, STEM, arts integration, career pathways, and college-preparatory experiences.

Charter schools are tuition-free, publicly funded, and open to all students, giving families additional options to find the learning environment that best meets their child's needs and interests.

Every student learns differently. School choice empowers families, encourages innovation, and helps students discover their strengths while preparing for success in college, careers, and life.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ D-Day – June 6, 1944 πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
HONORING THE COURAGE THAT CHANGED HISTORY

Today, Sarasota Military Academy honors the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering resolve of the Allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago. Their bravery changed the course of history and secured the freedoms we enjoy today.

As we remember the heroes of D-Day, may we continue to live with the same spirit of duty, honor, and service.

"These were ordinary men who did extraordinary things."
