What Can I Do at Micanopy?


Students at Micanopy Academy play a game of volleyball against a visiting team in a gymnasium. The girls volleyball team is wearing brightly colored uniforms.

We hear you students: You want activities, fun and connection at school. At our tuition-free 6th-12th grade school, we are committed to creating a climate where students take charge of their future, find a place to belong, and grow their interests.


We’re so serious about having fun and getting you connected, that we’ve hired Mr. Jeffrey Kline to be our Activities Director. A native Floridian, Mr. Kline is a natural fit for this role: outside of school he can be found enjoying the Florida sun and beaches while running, biking, kayaking, camping, or just taking a nice walk. He is a lifelong fan of playing and watching sports. Who better than this dynamo to plan activities for our students?


We posed the question, “What can I do at Micanopy?” to Mr. Kline and he came back to us with an extensive list of activities offered by faculty. Check out his answers below:


School Activities at Micanopy Academy


6th-12th grade students are invited to participate in:


  • Student Government: Participate in the management of the school and suggest new ideas or modifications of existing rules.

  • Physical Education Opportunities: Weightlifting, aerobic exercises, and sports such as volleyball, soccer, dodgeball, ultimate frisbee, hockey, and flag football.

  • Student Debate: Individually and collectively engage in discussion and debate on issues of societal importance.

Students are invited to suggest and create their own clubs. Grab a few friends, share your ideas and our teachers are happy to moderate. The following afterschool clubs are currently available to all 6th-12th grade students:

  • Soccer Club: Soccer drills and games every other Tuesday.

  • Running Club: Sustained running (at your own pace) with the help and support of our coaches every other Tuesday.

In addition to coordinating many of these activities, Mr. Kline teaches History, English and PE. He holds a B.A. in History and an M.A. in Social Science Education. He has worked tirelessly to not only form our volleyball and soccer teams but organize all of their games by reaching out to local private and charter schools. Coach Kline empowers our students to become leaders through our student government program and as an author, musician, and athlete, he is truly a modern day Renaissance man.
