Pinnacle Academy - Bradenton

Manatee Learning Academy is a private school in Bradenton serving students from preschool through grade 12, with small classes and an Individualized Learning Plan for each student. Children moving up from Learning Unlimited Preschool, which serves ages 6 weeks through VPK, enter our kindergarten after their preschool and kindergarten teachers review their progress together. Our research-based curriculum includes intervention programs, STEM, art, Spanish and physical education, plus monthly clubs and leadership opportunities. Every student takes progress monitoring assessments every five weeks, and students with an IEP or a scholarship that requires monitoring have parent conferences at each progress report. Dual Enrollment and our Allied Health Program are open to high schoolers. We do not field our own teams, but students play for their designated local public school, and we are an NCAA- and NAIA-approved school for college athletic eligibility. We take FTC, FES-EO and FES-UA scholarships from Step Up For Students and help families with scholarship questions during enrollment. Summer camp starts in June with morning enrichment in art, music, reading and math, afternoon arts, science and outdoor games, and breakfast, snacks and lunch included.
