I have been accepted… What’s Next?

Welcome to Fultwood Outdoors Academy (FWOA)! We’re excited to have you on this journey with us. Now that you have been accepted, here’s what you need to do next!


Step 1: Unenroll Your Child from Public School

To begin, you must withdraw your child from public school and register them as a homeschool student.

For Traditional Homeschool Students

You must submit a Notice of Intent to the Polk County Home Education Office to officially register your child as a homeschool student.

Submit Your Notice of Intent Online:
Polk County Home Education Office

Download the Notice of Intent Form:
Notice of Intent PDF

Once submitted, your child will be officially recognized as a homeschool student in Florida.


Step 2: For PEP Scholarship Students

Important: If your child has been awarded the PEP Scholarship, you must follow a different process (DO NOT submit the Notice of Intent for UA students).

Instead, you must terminate your child's enrollment from public school by submitting the Home Education Termination Form to the Polk County Home Education Office.

Selecting "Enrolling in PEP"

When completing the Home Education Termination Form, make sure to check the option for "Enrolling in PEP" to ensure your child is properly registered under the PEP Scholarship program.


Step 3: Enroll with Fultwood Outdoors Academy

Once your Notice of Intent or PEP Termination Form is filed, our team at FWOA will assist you with:
Class Registration – Selecting the right courses for your child
Transcripts & Record Keeping – Keeping track of all coursework
Elective Selection – Options like sports training, outdoor education, and life skills programs

Our guides will support you in every step of this process.
