VPK year for four-year-olds, if the school is a VPK provider; ask

Al-Furqan Academy appears on the state's roster of schools that take the Private School Scholarship (FTC/FES-EO). Duval students can spend the award here at $8,409 for grades K-3; $7,821 for grades 4-8 this year, and the money reaches the school quarterly through EMA.

The state also lists Al-Furqan Academy as an FES-UA school. A child with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP can put FES-UA ($10,573 at matrix levels 1-3 in Duval) toward therapies and tutors on top of tuition.

The school starts at pre-K, so ask whether it provides Florida VPK for four-year-olds and whether it takes School Readiness child care assistance through the Early Learning Coalition of Duval. A child who begins here can move into kindergarten on the state scholarship without changing campuses.

The state scholarship treats schools of every religion alike, and many also have aid funds from their own community worth asking about.

The school's latest state survey (2025) counts 214 students, and its largest grade is grade 2 with 38. Among the 16 private schools registered in Southside, Baymeadows & Deerwood, it ranks 4th by reported enrollment. It reports an accreditation: COGNIA.
