The ESTEEM Academy needs your help!

ESTEEM Academy serves students, who have severe anxiety and/or depression and are in 9th-12th grades.  Due to the level of support needed, students do not function well in the traditional high school setting.  Therefore, ESTEEM Academy provides a small school setting, a small class size, two full time mental health counselors who assist students with coping strategies in weekly counseling sessions and as needed.  We’re proud to say that nearly all of our students meet graduation requirements and prepare for life after high school.  Many continue on to Valencia College, and some have enrolled in the Orange Technical College.  We’re meeting the needs of a very specific population of students who, otherwise, would probably not graduate, without the existence and support of our program.

Contributions to the ESTEEM Academy Fund can be made at any time.  The Fund can receive gifts via cash, check (payable to FOCPS) or credit card, in one payment or multiple installments throughout the school year. Please write ESTEEM Academy in the memo section.  Checks should be mailed to the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools, 445 West Amelia Street, Orlando, FL 32801.

The ESTEEM Academy Fund will maintain a separate account at the Foundation for Orange County Public Schools available only to ESTEEM Academy; it will be tax deductible as a contribution to a 501(c)(3) organization with transparency and full disclosure.
