Florida Takes Another Big Step Toward School Choice
ORLANDO, FL — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and state lawmakers have recently eased restrictions for a powerful school choice option known as “microschools.” This move creates new opportunities for parents and churches to participate in Covenant Journey Academy’s (CJA) Affiliate Program and to make meaningful inroads in school choice for families looking for an affordable, Christ-centered education option for their children.
The new policy removes zoning and land use restrictions for private schools to use facilities owned or leased by a library, community service organization, museum, performing arts venue, theater, cinema, or church. In other words, notwithstanding the zoning or land use restrictions, the property can be used to host microschools.
A microschool is a small, independently operated school or co-op that usually serves a small number of students, often ranging from a handful to a few dozen or more.
“Microschools have the potential to revolutionize K-12 education,” explains Shawn Akers, CJA’s President and CEO. “Through CJA’s Affiliate Program, microschools don’t have to offer micro programs — they can hit the ground running by offering their students a full catalog of engaging, high-quality courses, including six world languages and exciting electives, all taught by certified teachers from a biblical worldview.”
Covenant Journey Academy, a full-service online K-12 Christian academy, is available 24/7/365 anywhere in the world. It is affordable with educational discounts as low as $171 per month. CJA is homeschool without the hassle — a turnkey setup that makes the K-12 program easy for every family.
CJA’s Affiliation Program provides opportunities for churches of any size to provide a facility and a facilitator to host homeschool families enrolled in the CJA program. CJA provides the curriculum and the certified teachers, and handles all of the administration while the church provides the facilities and a facilitator.
CJA Founder and Chancellor Mat Staver said, “Online homeschool is the wave of the future. Our online education is superior with over 150 courses taught by certified teachers, more than 30 college courses for dual credit, and six foreign languages. We must invest in the lives of children and change the course of history by focusing on K-12 education.”
Covenant Journey Academy is a full-service K-12 online Christian academy that is available to families and private schools around the world 24/7/365. A viable and affordable answer to America’s education crisis, CJA offers Christ-centered, high-quality, safe, flexible, accessible schooling to families who desire a superior learning experience built upon the foundation of a biblical worldview.
