North Florida School of Special Education

The mission of North Florida School of Special Education is to discover and foster each student’s unique abilities revealing their highest potential within an engaged community. At NFSSE, our faculty and staff are committed to providing a comprehensive, individualized education plan for each student that meets his or her needs and sets realistic goals for success. Because there is not one specific path to success that can be prescribed to each of our students, we emphasize that by cultivating relationships in the classroom and learning to celebrate our differences, we can truly accomplish our goals together.

North Florida School of Special Education (NFSSE) gives students, ages 6-22, with intellectual and developmental differences a place to learn, thrive, and become the best versions of themselves in an innovative academic and therapeutic environment. NFSSE’s innovative microenterprises offer vocational training and paid employment for transition and postgraduate students at NFSSE, as well as meaningful volunteer opportunities.
