Jewett School of the Arts

Students at Avengers Christian Academy work through Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.), a Bible-based K-12 program built on self-paced workbooks called PACEs. Each grade's material is split into 12 PACEs, reading is taught through phonics, and math is mastery-based, so a student moves ahead once a concept is secure. Every new student takes a placement assessment in math and English language arts so we can start them at the right level. Our Winter Haven school enrolls kindergarten through 12th grade. High schoolers and their parents meet with staff to choose one of five diploma paths: special, vocational, general, college prep or honors. Alongside academics, we teach biblical values and practical money skills such as building credit, saving and investing. We are accredited by and a member of the Florida League of Christian Schools. Base tuition for 2026-27 runs $9,525 for grades K to 5, $9,770 for grades 6 to 8 and $9,920 for grades 9 to 12, with registration, book and technology fees on top. Transportation is available for a fee, families who enroll early receive a discount, and tuition assistance is open to all students.
