Scholarships for Students with Disabilities

Florida’s school choice program allows parents to choose the best educational setting for their children — public or private. The McKay Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program provides students with special needs the opportunity to attend a participating private school.

Families who are dissatisfied with their special needs student’s current school may choose to transfer the student to another St. Lucie County public school, or to a private school such as Positive Expectations Academy.

Tuition Assistance

Tuition at Positive Expectations Academy is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the level of services needed. Families can apply for a McKay Scholarship to assist with the cost of tuition.
