Who can attend?
Students who have successfully completed any grade, K-5 or middle school grades 6-7, may attend College for Kids (CFK). Students must have appropriate independent work skills and behaviors for high levels of academic activity within a loosely structured learning environment.

Does my child pick one class to attend all day?
No. At the beginning of each week, a schedule will be published for each site. Children are grouped by grade and age level and switch classes throughout the day.

Will the topics vary from one week to the next?
New materials are presented each week throughout the summer. Although the subject may remain the same, a new unit will be presented each week. This way, children who attend every week will stay challenged and interested, and children who miss weeks will not fall behind.

Who cares for my child?
College for Kids uses credentialed teachers. College for Kids also provides caring staff to assist the teachers during the day.

How do I request reasonable accommodations?
St. Petersburg College reasonably accommodates students with special needs in accordance with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Because of the academic nature of College for Kids, students need to function educationally, emotionally and behaviorally at or near grade level. The students must be able to adjust to class changes with a variety of teachers and teaching styles and adjust to loosely structured interaction with peers. Any reasonable accommodations for meaningful participation in the program must be requested within a reasonable time before classes begin. Some accommodations may require five (5) working days before the beginning of a College for Kids week. For special needs questions, please call the CFK office at (727) 341-3196 or 9727) 341-3184.

Do you have scholarships ?
Unfortunately, we do not have scholarships. You may call the Juvenile Welfare Board/Coordinated Child Care Office; we can accept Coordinated Child Care payments.
