🌟 What Sets Us Apart

At Roots Academy, we go beyond worksheets and rigid schedules. Our child-centered learning experience blends academic growth with real-world connection, curiosity, and joy. Here’s what makes us different:

Certified Teachers, Personalize Instruction

Core math and literacy skills are taught by experienced, certified teachers in small groups that allow for individualized attention and flexible pacing. Instruction is aligned to the Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and tailored to each student’s needs.

Project-Based Learning with Purpose

Students dive into meaningful, standards-aligned projects that integrate STEM, problem-solving, and essential life skills—all designed to make learning stick and feel relevant.

Home Learning Extensions

Our families receive optional curriculum support at home through the award-winning and child-friendly Seesaw app, providing a consistent and engaging bridge between in-person and at-home learning.

Writing Workshops

Students build confidence and creativity through guided writing lessons that focus on structure, expression, and skill development across genres.

Social Enrichment & Discovery Days

From nature walks to collaborative challenges, students engage in structured social experiences that build confidence, cooperation, and friendship.

Testing Services

Pep families may opt into testing services for progress tracking, support with PEP requirements, or instructional planning.

Indoor & Outdoor Learning Spaces

Our learning environment includes cozy indoor spaces, a fenced in outdoor learning area, and a dedicated forest learning space, giving students the chance to learn through movement, fresh air, and connection to the natural world.

Small Student/Teacher ratio

With a maximum of 30 students per day, we maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio and a calm, connected environment where every child is seen and supported.

Scholarship-Friendly & Family-Focused

We proudly accept Step Up for Students PEP scholarships and offer Founding Family discounts—because we believe high-quality, personalized education should be available to all families, not just a few.

Family & Volunteer Involvement

We love partnering with families! Parents are welcomed into our learning community and invited to participate in events, workshops, and volunteer opportunities.

Digital Portfolios

Student growth is documented through digital portfolios that highlight achievements, creativity, and progress over time.

Consistent Communication & Family Connection
Roots Academy keeps families closely connected to their child’s learning journey through frequent photo updates, ongoing communication, and direct access to school leadership. Parents are never in the dark—we’re here to celebrate growth, share progress, and partner with you every step of the way.
