Why PTSEC
Benefits of Permission To Succeed
Personalized Learning
Students are assessed to determine their true grade level in each subject. This allows us to tailor each student’s coursework to their skill level for every lesson plan. No child is left behind or held back from their full potential.
Personalized Teaching
Students receive focused, individualized instruction tailored to their pace and skill level. Working with instructors at their own pace allows children to take as much time as they need to master a lesson plan without fear of falling behind classmates.
Qualified Teachers
Our certified teachers must hold a Bachelor’s Degree or higher, have 3+ years of K–12 teaching experience, or have special skills that qualify them to provide instruction.
Social Emotional Learning
We believe it is essential for students to be aware and proud of who they are. Students engage in lessons that explore their cultural heritage and expand their worldview. Meditation and mindfulness exercises promote self awareness.
Enrichment Programs
We offer financial literacy and entrepreneurship enrichment programs to prepare students for success. Students are encouraged to explore hobbies and interests for a well-rounded education. We also take field trips to expose students to new experiences.
College Preparation
Students graduate with a Florida high school diploma from an accredited private school. Our experienced school counselor assists with college applications, NCAA and Bright Future Scholarship course selection, and we also offer dual enrollment.
