Dear FLEC Family,

This school year is going by quickly, and before we know it, next school year will be upon us. That is why each January and February our school leadership begins the process of laying the groundwork for the upcoming school year. We work diligently with the Florida Conference and School Board leadership to set a preliminary calendar, school budget, etc. The 2023-2024 school year will be a special year for us as we celebrate 50 years on this campus and watch as a brand new 14,000 square foot building with FLEC’s first indoor cafeteria is constructed.

After concluding initial preparations for the 2023-2024 school year, there are a few updates that we would like to share with you:

  • Calendar - The official start date will be Tuesday, August 15. Below you will find details on other important dates that we can now confirm. Additional calendar updates will be shared with you in the coming months as they are approved by the Florida Conference.

  • Tuition – The constituent tuition rate for K-8 students will be $6,650 for the upcoming school year. Our Mission is to provide an Adventist education that promotes academic excellence and nurtures a love of God and service to others. FLEC is committed to providing that education at the most affordable rate possible.

You may be interested to know where FLEC ranks among nearby Adventist and other local private schools. Included at the bottom this letter is a table with the most up-to-date information available (some schools have not yet published their rates for 2023-2024; rates will likely increase).

  • Tuition Assistance - We understand the financial commitment it takes to send your student(s) to an Adventist school; we thank you for choosing FLEC. If tuition represents a financial hardship on your family, there are a variety of scholarship options available.
