Schedule:

SDA administrative offices are open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Our front desk staff can assist with any questions or concerns during these hours. 

On days when they are not on campus, students work on their assignments remotely, Monday through Friday. This flexibility supports students in managing their time effectively as they pursue high school graduation and post-secondary goals. 

Please note: The SUFS Handbook states students must attend for a minimum of 10 days each quarter. 

We are committed to providing a structured and supportive learning environment that meets the unique needs of our students. Your needs are our priority. Please don’t hesitate to contact our office with any questions about our school hours or schedule. 

Scholarships:

South Dade Academy is committed to helping students succeed. We believe that financial constraints should never hinder accessing a high-quality education. That’s why we provide resources to help parents and guardians explore scholarship opportunities for their children. 

Our commitment to student success extends to our partnerships. Families can apply for scholarships through StepUpForStudents.org.  Step Up for Students offers support in navigating several scholarship programs, including: 

  • Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA): Provides scholarships to eligible families whose child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
  • Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program: This program offers educational support through scholarships to eligible students from families with limited financial resources. 
  • Family Empowerment Scholarship Program: This program helps low-income families attend an eligible private school of choice and reduces the Florida Tax Credit (FTC) Scholarship waitlist. 

 We believe every student deserves access to the education they need to succeed, and we’re here to help your family find the exemplary scholarships that can make an SDA education a reality.
