Program accomplishments

  • LIBERTY ACADEMY IS ONE OF THE HIGHEST PERFORMING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROGRAMS SERVING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN AND AROUND THE HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY OF LIBERTY CITY SECTION OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. AS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE ACADEMIC OUTCOMES OF OUR STUDENTS, THE DEMAND FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT. TO ADDRESS THE HIGH DEMAND FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES, IN 2022, LIBERTY ACADEMY BEGAN THE EXPENSIVE AND LENGTHY PROCESS OF CONSTRUCTING A NEW ADDITION TO OUR EXISTING FACILITY. PRIOR TO THE 2024/25 SCHOOL YEAR, WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE WOULD NEED TO OBTAIN A CHANGE OF USE TO BE ABLE TO ACCEPT STEP-UP FOR STUDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS. BASED ON OUR APPROVAL TO OBTAIN A CHANGE IN USE UPON COMPLETION OF OUR ADDITION AND A STATEMENT FROM FIRE THAT OUR EXISTING FACILITY DID NOT POSE ANY SAFETY HAZARDS, A WAIVER WAS GRANTED FOR LIBERTY ACADEMY TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR THE 2024/25 SCHOOL YEAR. AFTER GETTING OUR BUILDING PERMIT IN 2024, THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT AGREED TO FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTION DELAYED MOVING FORWARD UNTIL THEIR UNDERWRITER COULD VERIFY THAT STEP-UP PAYMENTS WOULD BE MADE QUARTERLY. THE DELAY IN OUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTION'S COMMITMENT TO FINANCE THE DEAL MADE COMPLETION OF THE ADDITION BEFORE THE 2025/26 SCHOOL YEAR EXTREMELY UNLIKELY. DESPITE INVESTING OVER 100,000 AND ALMOST THREE YEARS INTO THE EXPANSION, LIBERTY ACADEMY DECIDED TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION IN DECEMBER 2024. BECAUSE THE COST OF HOUSING IS VERY EXPENSIVE IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, LIBERTY ACADEMY MADE THE DECISION TO RENOVATE THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEMOLISHED TO ACCOMMODATE THE EXPANSION TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANTLY DISCOUNTED HOUSING FOR FOUR STAFF MEMBERS AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES.
