The stretch between Colonial Boulevard and Cypress Lake Drive, where US 41, Summerlin Road and the McGregor Boulevard palms run south toward the Iona area.

From the state record. Everything on this page about the school is copied from the Florida DOE private school register for the Lee district as downloaded October 28, 2026, including whether Step Up lists it for FTC/FES-EO, FES-UA or PEP on that date.

Funding note: The Private School Scholarship is not tied to religion. A participating secular school in Lee receives the same county award as any church school.
