nique Academy, in collaboration with Young Kidz Academy, today announced that enrollment for the 2027–2028 school year opens February 1, with classes beginning in August 2027. The expansion brings Unique Academy’s network to eight Florida campuses spanning both coasts — Hollywood, Orlando, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Jacksonville, Pensacola, and Gainesville — serving families from preschool through twelfth grade. Founded in 1999 as a school of excellence, Unique Academy has grown into a thirty-eight-school national brand and is also home to the Unique Academy television series streaming on Roku and Tubi, featuring celebrity-mentored instruction in automotive, music, arts, and finance.
A highlight of the new programming is Will Castro’s automotive classes, launching January 2027 — hands-on vocational training that gives students real-world skills alongside traditional academics.
“We’ve spent nearly three decades proving that excellence in education starts early and never stops. This year we’re expanding access so more families across Florida can experience what makes Unique Academy different — real mentorship, real skills, and a community that treats every child like their future matters.”Gregory Ferrara, Chief Administrator
Unique Academy, in collaboration with Young Kidz Academy, is opening free scholarships and grants to every family, including underprivileged children across the state. Through Florida’s Education Freedom Tax Credit, households earning up to roughly two hundred ninety thousand dollars in Broward County and over three hundred thousand in Miami-Dade may qualify — and for families with the greatest need, additional need-based aid is available so no child is turned away for tuition.
Families can enroll starting February 1 at youngkidzacademy.com.
