Does Colossal Jacksonville accept the Florida scholarship, and what would a Duval family receive?
Colossal Jacksonville 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 $7,629 for grades 9-12 this year, and the money reaches the school quarterly through EMA.
The state also lists Colossal Jacksonville 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 also carries the PEP participant flag, so a PEP family can pay for part-week attendance from the account.
An independent school decides its own financial aid, and the state award works here exactly as it does at a faith-based school.
The school's latest state survey (2026) counts 10 students, and its largest grade is grade 9 with 5. Among the 10 private schools registered in Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Atlantic Beach & Intracoastal West, it ranks 9th by reported enrollment.
