South Florida School of Excellence focuses on higher expectations through reinforcement in learning. A great deal of emphasis is placed on motivation for the student to respond. Although much of the instruction is provided in a 1:1 educational setting that allows and permits all students to learn effectively while permitting accommodations and modifications, the Academy also understands the importance for students to generalize and master the use and control of their skills into the natural environment applied by scientific based method.

To reach that learning level, our staff of specialists develops effective annual goals with observable behavior, conditions and criterion, for each of our students to improve:
