Overview
Jacklyn Academy in Fort Lauderdale, FL, serves 51 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in a nonsectarian, midsize city community.
Founded in 2015, the school operates with a student–teacher ratio of 10:1 supported by 5 teachers.
The student body represents 100% students of color, reflecting diversity within the Melrose Manors neighborhood.
Jacklyn Academy offers regular elementary and secondary education in a city setting with small enrollment size.
As a Fort Lauderdale K–12 private school, it provides an educational option in close proximity to other area schools with comparable grade spans.
Since 2003, AEF Schools has served students in grades K12 who have the ability to succeed but may not be reaching their full potential academically, socially, or in the development of executive-functioning and independent-living skills.
Our coeducational day schools provide a fully accredited academic program combined with individualized instruction in cognitive, social, executive-functioning, and life skills.
AEF offers two distinct programs: the AEF Preparatory Program, an accredited diploma-track program for students preparing for college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary opportunities, and AEF Westham Academy, which provides more intensive academic remediation, functional academics, life-skills instruction, vocational preparation, and support for greater independence.
Students may transition between programs as their needs and goals change.
Both programs feature small class sizes, personalized instruction, mastery-based progress, no traditional homework, transportation options, before- and after-school care, and participation in eligible Florida scholarship programs.
AEF is accredited through Cognia and offers individualized graduation and completion pathways based on each student's abilities, needs, and long-term goals.
