Quest Kids

Does Quest Kids accept the Florida scholarship in Orange County?

No flag yet: the Florida Department of Education directory dated October 28, 2026 does not mark Quest Kids as an FTC/FES-EO participant. A school may sign up with Step Up For Students whenever it chooses, so ask if it intends to, and whether PEP or FES-UA funds could pay for any of what it offers.

Quest Kids carries the state's Unique Abilities (FES-UA) participant flag. The school told the state it serves 8 disability categories, listed below. Under FES-UA's base tier, an Orange County student with a qualifying diagnosis or IEP gets $10,584 in K-3, $9,995 in 4-8 or $9,803 in 9-12, and it can fund therapy and tutoring too.

An independent school sets its own need-based aid policy, and the state scholarship works exactly as it does at a religious school.

In the 2025 state survey the school counted 43 students; that ranks Quest Kids 6th by size among the 7 schools in Downtown, Colonialtown & Delaney Park that gave an enrollment figure.

2. After the scholarship is applied to my child's grade, what balance remains, and which registration, book or uniform charges does it not cover?
3. What discounts or aid exist beyond the scholarship: need-based aid, sibling rates, church-member or parishioner pricing?
4. Which quarterly EMA deadline will the school use to submit my child's enrollment?
5. Of the disability categories on your state record, which have openings now, and can on-campus therapies be billed to FES-UA?
6. For high school: does the school have a dual enrollment agreement with Valencia College, and what do course fees come to against the 9-12 award?
