SOUTH FLORIDA AUTISM CHARTER SCHOOL INC is a Title I public charter school that is part of the MIAMI-DADE school district, located in HIALEAH, FL with about 220 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 19 teachers, SOUTH FLORIDA AUTISM CHARTER SCHOOL INC has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

South Florida Autism Charter School (SFACS), located in Hialeah, Florida, is a specialized educational institution dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based instruction to students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Established with the goal of meeting the unique academic, social, and functional needs of its students, the school utilizes a data-driven approach, often incorporating Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodologies. By maintaining small class sizes and a high staff-to-student ratio, SFACS creates a supportive environment that prioritizes individualized education plans (IEPs) tailored to each child’s specific developmental requirements.

Beyond traditional academics, the school emphasizes life skills, communication development, and social integration to prepare students for greater independence. SFACS serves as a community hub that fosters collaboration between educators, therapists, and families to ensure a holistic approach to student growth. Through its specialized curriculum and commitment to advocacy, the school strives to empower individuals with autism to reach their full potential and successfully transition into the community at various stages of their lives.
