VALUE PROPOSITION

It has been with great effort, focus and dedication to the lives of our students and their guardians that the leadership of CES has reached this point that we are now prepared to launch the next evolution in our journey together.

A RELIABLE BRAND

We believe the need for CES Academy is substantial and far-reaching. We know there are students falling through the cracks of the traditional educational system. There needs to be a CES Academy in every community in Florida.

As we scale the CES Academy model, we want to ensure our schools have a consistent culture, consistent programs, and a consistent “look and feel”. From Jacksonville to Miami, every CES Academy customer can expect to receive the same quality experience in education and school administration.

We’ll no longer feel like separate schools operating under the corporate umbrella of CES services. Rather, now we’ll be one united family focused on championing students across all of Florida. Leveraging consistent methods across the organization of schools

will help us to garner consistent success, with regards to school operations and the achievement of our students.

It’s the next evolution for CES schools, the CES Academy model.

OUR MISSION WILL
ALWAYS BE TO
CHAMPION STUDENTS

We believe every student matters. Every student deserves the chance to succeed. Nobody should ever get left behind in school.

Typical schools cater to the average student, teacher and class en masse.

CES is geared to children who typically don’t like or fit in the traditional school framework.

Often our typical student wasn’t getting all of their needs met before CES. This may include learning preferences, behavioral health, or even include more complicated matters such as nutritional, emotional, medical, even spiritual health.

They may have had negative experiences at other schools or weren’t reaching their full potential. They may or may not have documented learning or behavioral disabilities. Our school becomes a safety zone, a place of refuge, of belonging.

A RAVING FAN CULTURE

We believe our strategic anchor, our key differentiator, as a brand, as a school model, is the level of service we provide our partners; the experience our students and parents have at CES Academy; the experience our team members have working with CES.

We want the experience for every CES partner to be consistently, uncommonly delightful.

We want our students, parents and faculty to be so passionate about CES that they can’t stop talking about it.

A core belief at CES is we rise by lifting others. Our students strive to rise above
tremendous adversity because of their outreach to one another. When you help others
your life starts to have meaning and purpose. Real joy comes not from material
possessions but from people.

A BIBLICAL FRAMEWORK AND FOUNDATION

We believe we’re called to be light, to bring hope, to serve, to rise by lifting others.

We’re here to love everyone because God put His love in our hearts. We pray because we believe God hears our prayers and will bring the super to our natural. We teach the Bible because its principles give the foundation for everything else in life to work.

DEPENDABLE PROGRAMS
AND SERVICES

CES Academy operates on methods vetted by educational industry thought leaders at CES services that have proven success rates. We have a framework of support with varying intensity that is strategically implemented to help our students win.

We utilize differentiated instruction as well as non-traditional educational modalities or styles to reach our learners in ways that stick. Our smaller classroom size gives us the ability to personalize our curriculum to the student.

We realize every student is unique and they do not all learn the same way.

CES Academy utilizes the CES Method – a framework of curriculum and lesson plans for teachers to help students K-12 master a subject via traditional and differentiated instruction.

We offer specific academic programs that are designed to more effectively meet the needs of every student; our Traditional, Foundations, and Transitional Program. Students will graduate with a fully accredited high school diploma, learn life skills with the goal of finding a postsecondary program, or achieve a combination of the two. Our goal is to walk alongside each student, helping them find and navigate the correct educational path.

GREATER LEVELS OF ACCOUNTABILITY
CES ACCREDITATION

CES is continuing its trajectory of providing unparalleled services to the schools in its network. We’re elevating our services to the new standard – CES accreditation.

Every CES Academy will be required to maintain CES accreditation.

CES accreditation is anchored by the value pillars of every CES Academy: the CES support model, the Championing Students mission, the CES methods, the Rise by Lifting Others belief system, and the Raving Fan culture.

CES accredited means industry authority in educator training and professional development, curriculum, certifications, and academic SOPs.

CES accredited means school operations, best practices, policies & procedures, SOPs, quality assurance have been extensively measured and monitored.

CES accredited means championing students in a raving fan culture is safeguarded.

CES accredited means the new standard in school choice K12 private schools. It guarantees a level of consistency and excellence rarely seen in this niche market of private K12 schools.
