Home › Tampa Bay
Tampa Bay: 47 small schools documented — Hybrid Schools (11), Microschools (8), Homeschool Co-ops (7) and more below. The transparency numbers first, because they are the point of this site: 11 of 47 schools here publish tuition (23%), 0 record at least one funding or ESA program with a named source, and 15 publish days per week.
Every fact on a listing names its source and check date, and every gap is shown as a gap — "Tuition not published" means the school does not publish it, not that it is free or expensive. Schools claim their listing free to complete their decision data. The region breaks down by area: Tampa (8), Palm Harbor (4), Zephyrhills (3), Brandon (3).

Only 11 of the 47 schools documented here publish tuition at all — published figures include STEEL Home School Co-op ($125 per 2.5-hour class (all levels; $80 deposit) (priced per per class)); Apogee St. Pete (2 days/week: $1,437 per quarter; 3 days/week: $1,776 per quarter; 4 days/week: $2,300 per quarter (priced per quarter)). The rest do not publish it anywhere we could source, which is why their listings carry the admissions-page link and the exact questions to ask. Published tuition is the exception in this market, not the rule.
From the schools' own published pages: Step Up for Students - direct-pay provider (program not specified) (29 schools), Step Up for Students - PEP (8 schools), Step Up for Students - FES-UA (Unique Abilities) (8 schools). Each listing's funding row names its source — a state program list or the school's own statement — because "ESA accepted" claims in ads are easy to make and hard to verify.
15 of 47. Days per week decides whether a small school fits a family's work schedule — a four-day hybrid and a five-day microschool are different products at similar prices — so we record it as a first-class field and show it as a gap where a school does not publish it.
Because most small schools genuinely do not publish tuition — they quote it in conversation. We tested this before building the site and found it everywhere, so the model here is claim-first: listings launch with honest gap states and the phone and admissions links, and schools complete their own decision data free. A gap on this site is a sourced finding, not missing research.
How a school gets on this page: from a public-record source (NCES, a state list, a program provider list, or a network locator) or the school’s own published pages. Trust states describe how the facts were confirmed; they are not a quality judgement, and schools are never ordered by quality.
