2020 Best Boarding High Schools in FloridaAbout this List

Saint Andrew's School

• Private School
• Boca Raton, FL
• PK, K-12
• 157 reviews

Junior: Have you ever visited a place and felt like it was where you were supposed to be? That was precisely how I felt the day I had my tour at Saint Andrew's School (SAS) in Boca Raton, Florida. SAS has provided me with unique and numerous opportunities, both academically and socially. As a sophomore, I was the founder and President of a club, and through that club, have made connections that will be invaluable to me in the future. St. Andrew's School has enabled me to work toward my Private Pilot's License, having been accepted to their joint aviation program with Lynn University's College of Aeronautics. With numerous sports offerings, there is certainly something for everyone, no matter your experience or ability, and the extra curricular activities are too numerous to list. If a club for your particular interest doesn't exist, you have the ability to start your own! Saint Andrew's School was the best choice for me, both now and for my future. I am proud to be a Scot.

The Bolles School

• Private School
• Jacksonville, FL
• PK, K-12
• 142 reviews

Alum: I previously went to Stanton College Prep and absolutely dreaded it. I was extremely hesitant about transferring to Bolles due to the fact that I was paranoid the teachers at Bolles would be just like the ones at Stanton. However, I was absolutely wrong. Bolles has excellent teachers and staff members who will do whatever they can to help you and to ensure you pass. It is honestly very hard to fail at Bolles with the amount of help and guidance they offer to students. I graduated last year and Bolles has not only paved my way to success but with the help of Bolles I have never been rejected by any college I applied to and am currently attending my dream college and excelling at my dream major. Thank you Bolles. I owe my success to this school.

Parent: Great fine arts department with collaboration with Juilliard! Love that the students get to experience master classes in music, dance and art. Would like to see more opportunities for students in the arts out in the community. Great private instructors where music students can take private lessons after school. Love that dance classes are offered during the school day and can be used as PE requirement. Each day a different type of dance class offered. The school offers both academic and fine arts scholarships!

The fact that there is students from over 80 different countries makes it even more successful and a great experience. We are all exposed to other cultures and languages which gives us even more than you can think of. As a experience MVA is great, you will learn new things, meet new pwople, make friends for lifetime and also enjoy the amazing sports programs the school offers. We have some famous athletes graduated from mva and we keep pushing the rest to reach excellence with the great coaches and even greater facilities the academy has.

Parent: I have 2 children at Windermere Preparatory School in the Lower School grades. We have been here for 4 years and absolutely love the welcoming family that this school truly is. From the Headmaster, through the Administrative team, to the teachers down to the students and families - this school is one of the greatest communities we've ever been a part of. The school truly cares about my children as individuals. Their teachers have planned their curriculum around each of my child's strengths and weaknesses to give them the best possible education. We love Windermere Prep!

Lake Mary Preparatory School

• Private School
• Lake Mary, FL
• PK, K-12
• 10 reviews

Parent: My son started at LMP 6 years ago as a timid and shy Pre-K3 student. He is now a confident and outgoing kid who will be starting 4th grade in August. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the teachers we’ve had over the years! Although the school has gone through a few administrative changes in the past few years, this has not seemed to have had any negative impact on the level of education excellence provided by the teachers and staff. We are very pleased with our decision to join the LMP family and look forward to many more successful years here.

IMG Academy

• Private School
• Bradenton, FL
• 6-12
• 31 reviews

Niche User: Overprized and mass produced, but otherwise great opportunities. Tuition nowadays is $83,000 which In my opinion should include a personal butler and daily massages alongside a three-course menu cooked by a Michelin star chef. Unfortunately, none of that is the case. Upside: Experienced and knowledgeable coaches!

Florida Prep

• Private School
• Melbourne, FL
• 5-12
• 28 reviews

Senior: I went to this school for 5 years. I think the facilities are holding up pretty well since its such an old building. There are run down parts but they have moved the girls from 5th hall to 1st hall which is nice. I feel like there isn’t much school spirit anymore nor is there much friendliness towards students. No one really knows each other. I think it is because they took away the couches in the hall of flags. Even though it is very diverse, I see a lot of cliques. The teachers are mostly pretty good. Some of them suck. Sometimes you have to teach yourself the material rather than them teach you. Clubs do not exist at this school. If you’re not in sports, there is nothing for you here. For an open campus in the middle of a small city, I have always felt very safe.

The Vanguard School

• Private School

• 8 reviews

Parent: I've been very impressed with the quality education my son has received but even with a boarding school you still as a parent have to be your kids advocate. As with any school that has any special learning program they do have challenges with selecting appropriate students for the school and they seem to always want to give a child a chance. Sometimes that creates a situation where they accept a kid who is not 100% appropriate for the program but they seem to weed these kids out quickly.
