RISE UP: Capital Campaign for Kerrington’s Care Academy
 

Help Us Build a Brighter Future for Children with Unique Abilities

We are calling on our community to join us in meeting the immediate capital needs of our growing school. Your financial support will fund essential upgrades, including expanded classroom tools, new playgrounds, enhanced HVAC systems, increased campus security, and much more. 

Kerrington’s Academy (KCA) is on a mission to empower more children with autism to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With growing demand for our specialized programs, we’re expanding our enrollment from 35 students in 2025–2026 to 100 students by 2027–2028. 

To support this growth, KCA is purchasing a new campus in May 2026—a beautiful 1.5-acre property with 10,000 square feet of educational space in Leesburg, Florida. This move marks a major milestone and opens the door for future development and innovation in autism-centered education. 

Help us create a safe, connected, and inclusive campus for all students through targeted facility and technology enhancements. Your support directly impacts the well-being, development, and success of every child we serve. 

Our move to the new campus has already made a significant difference. 35 additional children and their families now have access to the quality, autism-specific education they deserve. But there’s still much work to be done—and we need your help.
