Founded in 2016 as Jacksonville’s Premier Private School by Meltonia Wright, Young Kids In Motion Academy of today is one of the nation’s premier independent & accredited day schools. From Early Childhood through Upper School (grades PK – 12), We offer a friendly, educational and nurturing environment for kids in the Duval County area.

YKIM Academy encourages reading, early learning and the development of social skills through play, creative activities and other noncompetitive exercises. Through a wide range of courses and class trips, students learn to work both independently and collaboratively. As professional educators, our teachers emphasize the growth of the child as a whole.
