Immunization Requirements 

Florida's law requires that every new student enrolling in Florida schools be properly immunized or have a signed waiver on file at the school. Also, this record must be on a Florida form. The Immunization Record must show that the following vaccines have been administered: 

  • 5 doses DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis) 
  • Tetanus 
  • 4 doses Polio 
  • 2 doses Measles 
  • 1 dose Rubella and 
  • 1 dose of Mumps, or 2 doses of MMR

Children entering or attending the 7th grade will be required to have completed, in addition to the above: 

  • Hepatitis B vaccination series, a 
  • Second measles vaccination or MMR and a 
  • Tetanus-Diphtheria booster. 

Age Requirements 

Kindergarten Students entering K5 must be five years old by September 1st. 

1st Grade Students entering 1st grade must be six years old by September 1st. 

Probation Period 

All new students accepted into Hifz Academy are accepted on a 90 days probationary period.   If, at any time during that period, the school feels that they are not a good fit they may be asked to seek another educational facility that is best suited to fulfill their child’s needs. 

Special Education Constraints 

Hifz Academy will not be able to accept any student whose disabilities may be too severe to address due to our limited resources. We will admit only students whose needs can be met based upon the available resources for the year, which may vary from year to year. 

Waiting List Policy 

Given the fact that the number of seats available in a class may be less than the number of students applying for admission into that class, our school will begin a Waiting List for that class. If a seat becomes available, the parents will be notified of this. If they choose not to enroll their child, they may request for their child to remain on the Waiting List to ensure admission for the following year.
