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.

You can see the full calendar at the bottom of our "Day in the Life" page.

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.

Homeschool Program: This is a part-time program meant for homeschool families that want to take advantage of some of the programs Apogee St. Pete offers (growth-minded community, project-based learning, focus on physical fitness and growing young entrepreneurs).

The homeschool program will be two or three days per week, allowing parents to spend the majority of the week with their children, while still receiving many of the benefits of our full-time students.

- 2-day (Tue, Thu) Tuition: $5,750

- Payment terms: Annual (discounted to $8,000) or two payments of $2,150

- Enrichment Fridays: $500 for a "5-pack" of Fridays (see detailed breakdown below)

Enrichment Fridays will consist of two monthly themes ("Field Trip Fridays" and "Faith Fridays"), scheduled on first and third Fridays of each month.

They’ll run during regular school hours (9am –3pm) for consistency, with slight adjustments as needed per event. Families have the ability to flexibly “drop in” on whichever dates work for them by signing up ahead of time.

🧭 Field Trip Friday (1st Friday each month)

Exploring St. Pete’s cultural gems through an Apogee lens — museums, nature preserves, historical landmarks, and more. Think Fort De Soto, Sunken Gardens and some of the other great places we have right in our backyard!

🙏 Faith Friday (3rd Friday each month)
A gentle, age-appropriate exploration of Scripture, purpose, and Christian moral reasoning through Socratic discussion and projects.

Enrichment Fridays Cost: $500 for a "5-pack" of Fridays that you sign up for and choose which ones you want to do.

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 eligible to accept both the Personalized Education Program (PEP) and Unique Abilities (UA) scholarships for 2025-2026. Let us know if you need any help navigating Step Up for Students page and finding us.

Apply for these programs here: PEP and UA

If you have already been approved for the FTC/FES-EO scholarships (which Apogee cannot accept at this time), you can request to switch to the PEP scholarship by calling Step Up For Student's number: 1-877-735-7837

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.
