Modern Learning for Principled Families
At Apogee St. Pete—a leading private microschool and homeschool alternative in St. Petersburg—we've created an engaging, project-based learning environment designed for curious minds. Our school offers a flexible, enriching experience that nurtures critical thinking, fitness, and lifelong learning for children ages 5–12.
We break the mold of traditional classrooms. No standardized tests. No rigid lectures. Instead, children learn alongside peers through a Socratic method—asking questions, debating, and engaging in deep conversation. Every child at Apogee moves at their own pace, discovering their strengths in a learner-driven community.

Project-based learning (PBL) opportunities are at our core and will include hands-on, experiential learning that encourages creativity and problem-solving with entrepreneurial, real-world application.
2️⃣ Learner Driven Academics
Empowering children to take charge of their education, allowing personalized learning paths and exploration of individual interests with guidance from our Apogee St Pete coach.
3️⃣ Fitness Focus
Prioritizing physical health and activity as a foundation for life to drive overall well-being and cognitive development.
4️⃣ Socratic Foundation
Fostering critical thinking of what's happening in the world around us and communicating through open dialogue, respectful debate, and genuine curiosity.
5️⃣ Educational Ownership
Teaching life skills and responsibility through collective ownership of our educational environment where students take on roles and manage real tasks at Apogee St Pete.
6️⃣ Free Play & Learning
