Pre-Kindergarten classes at Tiger Academy include the 3-hour state-provided Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten session at no cost to our parents, with additional developmental and academic activities available for the remainder of the day for a fee, which may be covered in several ways based on each family’s needs. Our full Pre-K school day is from 8:00am until 3:30pm, however, those times may be adjusted based on each child’s need(s). The goal of Pre-K is to prepare children to enter Kindergarten well-prepared, ready to learn and achieve their highest potential.
According to controlled school choice option, out-of-county students may apply to Tiger Academy. If there is an applicant outside the Duval County, the applicant will follow the same timeline to apply. If the school still has any opening after giving priority to Duval County applicants, and waiting list students are called, remaining spots will be available to out of Duval County applicants in the order they applied in each grade level.
