NextStep at Endeavor Academy is an inclusive community where the benefits of educating and employing individuals with autism are broadly understood, supported, and valued.
NextStep at Endeavor Academy is a community-integrated program within the planned Endeavor Park community in Marianna, Florida. Classroom space, along with an employment instruction center, are located in Endeavor Park. Future residential options are under construction.
