Pi Learning Academy is a nonprofit private school in Hillsborough County, Florida, accredited by the
Florida Department of Education. We teach the same core curriculum your local public school does — reading,
writing, math, science, social studies, and hands-on STEM — but in a much smaller setting, where every
child is actually known by name.
If your child has been having a rough time in a bigger public or private school — whether it's bullying,
getting lost in a class of 25 or more kids, trouble concentrating, or just coming home every day
unhappy — this is exactly who we built this school for. Small classes aren't a marketing line for us;
they're the whole point. With fewer kids in the room, our teachers actually see each child: where they're
thriving, where they need more time, and what makes them light up. Kids who felt invisible or overwhelmed
somewhere else often start to come out of their shell within a few weeks of being here.
As parents ourselves — including parents of a child on the autism spectrum — we know how hard it is to
watch your kid dread going to school, and how rare it is to find a place that takes the time to really
know them. Our teachers aren't just running through a lesson plan. They're building relationships,
meeting kids where they are, and helping them learn to enjoy school again.
Because we follow Florida state standards, your child stays on track whether they stay with us through
sixth grade or eventually transition back to another school. What we offer that a bigger school
typically can't: weekly field trips, hands-on projects, flexible pacing, and one-on-one attention
whenever a child needs it.
We are proud to be an approved provider for the Step Up for Students scholarship program. Additionally, we accept the Unique Abilities (FES-UA) and Personalized Education Program (FTC-PEP) scholarships. These programs allow eligible families to use scholarship funds for our personalized homeschooling services. We also offer a direct-pay option for families who prefer that method of payment.
We are a private Hillsborough County school but we cannot take FTC-EO scholarship yet.
If your child qualifies for any of these scholarships, we are happy to assist you in navigating the application process. For more details on eligibility and how to apply, please visit the scholarship websites or contact us for further assistance.
Our full-time program runs Monday through Friday, providing a consistent structure and routine that supports academic progress while maintaining the flexibility and personalized attention our families value.
Our program caters to students both online and in-person with flexible scheduling to meet the needs of homeschooling families. Each session focuses on core subjects and interactive learning. Our in-person and online sessions allow for tailored instruction that ensures each child progresses at their own pace.
Our Pi Learning Academy offers three curriculum options: Parent-Provided Curriculum, where students bring their own materials for support and enrichment; Florida Virtual School (FLVS), with educator guidance for online learning, scheduling, and practice; and Customized Curriculum, tailored by teachers using diagnostic assessments aligned with Florida Standards, ensuring continuous progress monitoring.
Every Wednesday, students embark on exciting educational field trips to museums, nature reserves,
science centers, and other enriching locations. These outings provide hands-on learning experiences that
complement classroom instruction, fostering curiosity and real-world connections.
Most field trips are free of charge for our full-time students. On occasion, a
specific field trip may carry an additional fee — in those cases, we will notify parents in advance
with the exact cost and details so you can plan accordingly.
Parents are encouraged to join as chaperones to ensure a safe and engaging experience for all students.
To participate, students must bring a signed permission slip, a disposable lunch, and necessary
outdoor essentials like sunscreen and bug spray.
Pi Learning Academy supports students with diverse learning needs, including those with IEPs, 504 plans, EPs, or other academic accommodations. While we do not provide sustained one-on-one academic or behavioral support, we welcome students who require additional assistance, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT). These professionals may accompany students during program hours with prior notice and proper documentation. Our goal is to ensure that every child receives reasonable accommodations to support their educational journey.
Pi Learning Academy is a nonprofit private school in Brandon, Florida, serving grades 1-6. We offer both a full-time Monday-through-Friday program and a flexible homeschool enrichment option, so whether you're looking for a full private school or just a couple of days a week to support what you're already doing at home, there's a fit here for your family. Small classes, hands-on learning, and teachers who take the time to really know your child.
