“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to
have tried to succeed.”
We are currently accepting learners ages 5-10 years (K - 5th) in our class. Apogee St. Pete will expand into both middle and high school in the coming years.
We are launching in August 2025 and will align with the Florida public school calendar with our "first day of Apogee" on August 11, 2025.
Our last day of school for the 2025-2026 school year will be May 22, 2026.
Enrollment is live now (found here), with two options:
1. Early enrollment ends May 31, 2025 and locks in an early discount for your first year of Apogee St. Pete.
2. Standard enrollment will be ongoing until our first cohort (20 students max) is filled.
*Based on the interest we have received to date, we are expecting to fill the first cohort quickly. We recommend early enrollment to secure your child's place in the first cohort.

We believe that children learn best when working alongside both younger and older learners rather than splitting them up into groups based solely on age. In this way, learners progress towards mastery at their own pace and grow in collaboration and leadership.

This is another way Apogee acclimates children for the real world by becoming comfortable working amongst a group of students with differing ages, capabilities and skillsets.
Apogee St. Pete is in the process of becoming an eligible private school for both the FTC and FES scholarship. It is our goal to be able to accept these scholarships for the August 2025-2026 school year. We will update this page as we progress through the process.
If you are unaware of these programs, check out this simplified overview here.
There will be no report cards or standardized tests that show a linear progression for your child. What you will see is a more confident, competent and engaged child as they progress through our program.
With that said, in addition to the Apogee projects completed on a regular basis (5-6 projects per school year) you will receive a biannual (twice per school year) progress report summarizing your child's progress including strengths, learning passions, opportunities for improvement, etc.
We've secured a great facility in the Tyrone area of St. Pete by partnering with a local church. We will announce the exact location early in 2025 once we get the details finalized.
