Tuition & Affordability
At SJEDS, we understand that choosing a school is one of the most meaningful investments a family can make—an investment not just in academics, but in the shaping of a child’s heart, mind, and spirit. With that commitment in mind, we offer the following opportunities to help make an SJEDS education more affordable:
Financial Assistance
SJEDS offers need-based financial assistance to qualifying families. For more information, contact the Admissions Office at (904) 733-0352.
Florida School Based Scholarships

At SJEDS, we support students with disabilities in line with federal and local laws. However, please understand that private schools like ours are not governed by the same rules as public schools under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). This means your child may not receive the same accommodations or services they might get at a public school. We're happy to talk with you about the specific support your child may need and what we can offer at our school.
