The MyFloridaSchools (MFS) Portal is a centralized online platform developed by the WonderSchool that enables families to search for, compare, and evaluate early learning providers and K–12 schools throughout the state, including public, charter, private, and virtual education options. The portal provides comprehensive school profiles containing information such as academic programs, performance data, and enrollment details, and key information to support informed decision-making. Additionally, the platform allows schools and providers to manage and update their listings, enhancing visibility and ensuring families have access to current and accurate information to support Florida’s school choice initiatives.

The MFS Portal is built on WonderSchool’s proprietary software solution. The platform relies on WonderSchool’s proprietary technology, managed services, and supporting infrastructure to ensure system reliability, secure access, data integrity, and continuous availability of services. Continuation of these services is essential to maintain uninterrupted operations, preserve system functionality, and support the Department’s ongoing commitment to providing families with a comprehensive and reliable school choice measure.
