About
Sunshine State Academy K-12 was founded in July 2018. SSA is a Department of Education registered and recognized private school in the state of Florida (#5624). SSA is in compliance with all Florida private school statutes. Enrollment in SSA legally meets the compulsory attendance laws of Florida. SSA is directed by Dr. Chrysalis Wright, a developmental psychologist, who is a mother of six and has homeschooled her children while working for over 17 years. Three of her children have participated in dual enrollment opportunities and are attending or recent college graduates (including graduate school). Dr. Wright works full time in her field and is very active at the local and national level. It is not likely that you will find another remote school in Florida directed by a developmental psychologist. (ssha.org)
SSA does not participate in any Florida Scholarship program and is considered a homeschool registration option for those receiving the FES-UA. If you receive another Florida state scholarship, you can not enroll with SSA. You can, however, receive similar services from our sister site, serving home education families, with several options participating in state scholarship programs: Sunshine State Homeschoolers.
