Welcome to the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind!

We are proud that FSDB is nationally recognized as a trusted resource for the education of students who are deaf/hard of hearing, blind/visually impaired or deafblind. Our campus of more than 80 acres in historic St. Augustine features a Montessori-based pre-K school and five K-12 schools including access to virtual classes and dual enrollment opportunities. FSDB also offers statewide parent-infant and family support services across the state of Florida, in addition to educational outreach and training services.

What truly sets FSDB apart from other schools – and why parents/guardians choose FSDB – are our highly qualified teachers, specialists and staff members, small class sizes, advanced technologies, specialized support services and much more. Academic programs at FSDB are based on the Florida Standards and students work toward the attainment of their standard diploma. In a typical academic year, career and technical education courses are offered both on-campus as well as off-campus through partnerships with postsecondary schools and businesses. Students also have opportunities to take part in a wide array of extracurricular, performing arts and recreational activities, including academic and athletic competitions.

The FSDB experience gives students the edge, so they can do more, be more, and achieve more, fulfilling our vision of preparing them for a lifetime of success.

On behalf of the entire FSDB community, I extend our warmest welcome to prospective, new, and returning students and their families.
