A young student from Largo, Florida, has experienced a remarkable transformation in her educational journey thanks to the Digital Academy of Florida (DAOF). After facing challenges in her traditional school, she found academic success and a love for learning through virtual education at DAOF. 

Facing Bullying at School 

For the student , school wasn’t always a positive experience. She spent two years in a brick-and-mortar school, where bullying ruined her school experience. Recess, a time most kids enjoy, became something that she dreaded, as she was constantly bullied during games. Despite her parents’ repeated attempts to work with teachers and administrators, the bullying persisted.  

“It was heartbreaking to see her coming home every day you know, beat up, torn up, rips in her clothes, and just not wanting to go to school anymore,” her mother shared.  

Thriving in Online School 

Since enrolling at DAOF, this student has flourished in ways her family never imagined. The virtual classroom has provided her with a safe, engaging environment where she can not only focus on her education but also make friends along the way. 

“I experienced bullying at my old school,” she says . “Now, at the Digital Academy of Florida, I’m making friends, I can ask for help, and I feel comfortable at home. I also favorite parts of school which are art, music, reading—pretty much everything!” 

Through interactive lessons and one-on-one teacher support, this student has regained her confidence and passion for learning. 

Why Families Choose DAOF 

For this family, DAOF was more than a school, it was a new start. The personalized support from teachers and the flexible online schedule helped their daughter excel academically and socially. The family is now passionate about sharing their experience to inspire other families struggling with similar challenges. 

“If you’re worried about your child’s safety or success in traditional school, know that there are other options,” says her mother. “We wish we had found DAOF sooner.”
