SCPS Educational Support Center

Center Academy began in 1968 with the vision of its founder, Dr. Mack Hicks. Seeing the need for a specialized, full-day school for students who were falling through the cracks in traditional schools, Dr. Hicks established one of the first schools in the US to focus on the needs of students with Attention Deficit Disorder and other neuropsychological processing difficulties. With a team of professionals in the fields of neuropsychology, education, and individualized remediation, CA opened its first classrooms in the Science Center in St. Petersburg, FL. As Center Academy has expanded to locations around FL, and into Smyrna, GA , it has stayed true to its mission and kept its focus on addressing the unique needs of each student.

Forest Lake Education Center, located in Longwood, FL, provides a comprehensive educational experience for students through a diverse range of programs and resources. With a strong emphasis on ethical conduct and a well-rounded philosophy, the school aims to foster a nurturing environment for learning and growth. In addition to its educational offerings, Forest Lake Education Center supports families with various services such as aftercare programs and uniform purchasing options. The institution is committed to creating a community-focused atmosphere that values collaboration and engagement among students, parents, and staff. Generated from the website
