Our curriculum is aligned with Florida’s new B.E.S.T. standards to prepare students for success in high school courses. By focusing on developing critical thinking skills and content knowledge across multiple domains, the curriculum prepares students to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.

8th grade Accelerated Program: Students who pass their 7th grade mathematics state exams qualify for our accelerated 8th grade program where they can take required high school courses such as Algebra I and Biology I while still in middle school. Earning two high school credits in middle school will be a great boost toward their high school graduation requirements, but students who show initiative and aptitude can take it even further. 

For example, one of our 8th grade students successfully completed 6 high school classes in the 8th grade! This means that they will enter high school as a 10th grader and have a significant head start on their path to college.

​

We offer Industry Certifications through the FLVS to ALL of our interested students in grades 7-11.

Micanopy Academy students take many field trips throughout the year to fun and educational places like the Butterfly Museum, the Hoggetowne Medieval Faire, DEFY Gainesville Trampoline Park, University of Florida IFAS Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, University of Florida Engineering Fair, Silver Springs State Park, and many more.

​

High school students have had the opportunity to attend cultural enrichment field trips to distant locations like New York City and Peru.

Helping others is an integral part of being a good citizen. We expect our students to contribute a minimum of 75 hours of community service by the time they graduate. Students can fulfill this requirement in various ways. This component will also meet prerequisites for scholarships and college entrance.
