Spectrum Education, Inc. is a small virtual learning community of dedicated parents and educators. We have a unique community where families homeschool, and Spectrum Education, Inc. provides lessons and curriculum aligned with the Florida State Standards. Each day the students meet with certified teachers in small groups for live lessons. We also provide language therapy, art, music, yoga, social skills, book clubs, and other class get-togethers. Spectrum Education, Inc. keeps records and end-of-year portfolios that may be shared with local school districts.

Our Mission: Spectrum Education, Inc. empowers exceptional students to reach their full potential through a rigorous and engaging virtual learning community.

Our Vision: Spectrum Education, Inc. revolutionizes, enriches, and changes the lives of students with unique learning needs by developing innovative virtual communities.

Community is paramount to the success of Spectrum Education, Inc. There is a virtual meeting each morning with a chat where students can share and learn about their schoolmates. Fun activities such as lunch bunch, bring and brag, drawing challenge, virtual field trips, and visits from scientists occur across all school levels.
