Olivet Private School, Inc. is a K-12 school registered with the State of Florida under Statue 617.  As such, we are not affected by the state’s home education program requiring registration with the public school superintendent.  As a 617 school, we may accept students from any county in the state of Florida.  Families may not enroll with Olivet Private School and register with the public school system. 

Olivet is the only 617 school (nontraditional school) in St. Lucie county that is listed in the Federal Private School Database. This is a powerful protection of your children’s school transcripts and Olivet’s diploma.

Olivet is a private school consisting of parent-teachers registered with us, who educate their children at home.  As such, the parent-teachers are responsible to research and define their program of studies.  The administrative personnel of Olivet are parent-teachers who are willing to help in any way possible.

A student enrolled in Olivet Private School is considered a private school student, not a homeschool student.  Their transcripts are kept by the school, validating administratively the courses declared.  This is especially important when registering them for any type of program or official (work, educational) position.  Often, when seniors apply to colleges, denoting the private school situation will help them avoid additional scrutiny of their coursework and possibly in added entrance requirements.
