Frequently Asked Questions
How can I register my child with Life Learning Academy?
Simply click on the "Get Started" button below to begin the registration process.
What documents must I gather and submit?
1. Your registration form.
2. Since Life Learning Academy is registered as a private school in Florida, health and immunization records will need to be submitted when you register. You will submit a school-entry health exam (or a statement signed by the parent citing exemption based on religious reasons.) You will also submit your child's immunization records (or exemption form from the Department of Health.)
3. Attendance records. These will be submitted to Life Learning Academy quarterly. You will receive a simple document on which you can record your attendance each quarter.
Attendance records will be required at the end of each quarter: September - November, December - February, March - May, and June - August. 180 days are required by law, and you can keep these records however you wish. If you meet your 180 days by the third quarter for example, it is not necessary to send attendance records for the fourth quarter. You do not have to follow any traditional set schedule.
Will I have to register my children as home educated students through my county school board office?
No. Since Life Learning Academy is a private school in Florida, you will not register your children as home educated students with your county school board office.
