Prew Academy

Prew Academy is a small, specialized private school in Sarasota, FL serving grades 6–12 that focuses specifically on students with learning differences and developmental needs. The school specializes in supporting students with ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, autism, and other mild learning differences through dedicated learning difference programs and ADD/ADHD support services.

With only 43 students and a 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio, Prew Academy maintains an exceptionally small and nurturing learning environment. Average class sizes of just 8 students allow teachers to provide individualized instruction and close monitoring of each student's progress. The casual dress code and emphasis on small-group instruction create a low-pressure setting designed to build confidence and academic success for students who may struggle in traditional classroom settings.

Tuition is $8,200 annually for grades 11–12 (with lower costs for younger students), making it an affordable option compared to many private schools in the Sarasota area.
