CES Academy of Jacksonville is the Hogan Road campus of Children's Educational Services, our nonprofit network founded in 2009 that runs private K-12 academies across Florida. Cognia accredits CES as a full education system, so every CES Academy carries accreditation, and families can pay with any Florida school choice scholarship, including the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship and FES-UA. We place each student in the program that fits where they are. The Traditional program ($11,000) serves students on grade level or one to two levels behind, including students with IEPs and gifted students, in small classes with no homework. The Foundations program ($13,000) teaches at each student's functional level, with intensive language therapy for students with speech impairments, autism, intellectual disabilities and developmental delays, and its students graduate with an Access Points diploma or earn a completion certificate. A Transitional path helps students earn a standard diploma over an extended timeline, and an Achieve program runs $16,500. Classrooms use iPads, MacBooks and interactive smartboards. Teachers track progress weekly and send quarterly report cards, and dual enrollment through Southeastern University is open to our high schoolers.
