Donoso Academy Scholarship

The Donoso Academy Scholarship is our school’s own assistance fund. It helps cover tuition and essential school costs—including events, supplies, uniforms, and other learning expenses—so more families can access a Donoso education. You don’t need a separate application—all Donoso Academy students are automatically considered for our school scholarship based on available funds and need. If you’d like to support this fund, please click the Donate button below to make a contribution.

Early Learning Coalition

The Early Learning Coalition (ELC) offers two types of assistance for families: VPK (Voluntary Pre-K) and School Readiness. VPK is free pre-kindergarten for 4-year-olds (children who turn 4 on or before Sept. 1). School Readiness helps working or studying families pay for quality care and learning from infants and toddlers through school-age (before/after care, school breaks, and summer). In short:

  • Ages 0–3: School Readiness
  • Age 4: VPK (plus School Readiness wrap-around if needed)
  • Ages 5–12: School Readiness (before/after care & camps)

How to apply: Call 786-433-3095. An Inclusion Specialist will help you complete the ELC application, answer questions, and guide you through the next steps. Click Apply Now to dial the number.
