    We love Plato Tampa; Mrs. Jenkins is an awesome Principal. She shows each child individual attention and remembers who everyone is. My granddaughter has learned so much at Plato. We love the school.

    The diverse student body is taught by a superior group of devoted teachers who seek to bring out the best in students. The small class sizes allow for individual attention, and to ensure that no student falls through the cracks. The arts, athletic, music, and Greek language programs let students explore their passions and gain a well rounded experience. The spectacular administration cultivates a unparralled devotion to students, their leadership is the driving force behind its accomplishments. They truly nurture an environment where the students feel safe, supported and empowered to help reach their potential, while striving for excellence.
