2019 Best Catholic Schools in the Miami AreaAbout this List

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• PK, K-12
• 76

Sophomore: Carrollton is a school that encompasses various opportunities for students starting from their Montessori years. It is a College Prep school and therefore preps their students for college from the very beginning of Freshman year. Students learn about the college admissions process, the challenges and difficulties of applying to colleges, and how to determine what college is best fit for them. Carrollton is also an all-girls school. The benefit of being a diverse all-girls school is that students have the freedom to speak on various topics regarding race, sex, culture, etc. in an open environment. Along with that, students have a close bond with their class along with different grade levels. Teachers strive to assist their students in any struggle they have. Last but not least, the campus, home to multiple peacocks and a beautiful bayside view, provides students with an atmosphere full of nature and beauty. Overall, Carrollton is a wonderful school!

St. Thomas Aquinas High School

• Private School
• Fort Lauderdale, FL
• 9-12
• 613

Senior: STA is famous for their achievements in every sport and the high accessibility to recruits; however, STA passes the academic standards with flying colors! The faculty here at STA are helpful and caring. Teachers stay after school or even arrive before school starts in order to help their students. They are all highly qualified for their jobs as well. Fortunately, I have had some of the best teachers every single year, especially for the AP-level courses. What also draws you in at STA is the community you join once you take the entrance exam. As you step in the school on your first day, you are a Raider. You'll always be a Raider!

Archbishop Edward McCarthy High School

Senior: Archbishop has created an environment for students that no other school can do. My overall experience at Archbishop has been the best. I couldn't imagine going through high school at any other school. Archbishop makes you feel safe and protected with strict security and enforcement of rules. Archbishop has also created a fun environment with the countless pep rally, basketball and football games and Homecoming week! The academics at Archbishop have been a huge reason why I continued my high school years at Archbishop. They solely focus on college readiness and each year graduate all their seniors.

The teachers and administration are helpful and want to see you succeed as they push you to become young adults. The coaches care about each individual player, no matter your role on the team. They prepare you for the next level as best as they can. Many of the students graduate and become people of importance in the community. They become successful people and come back to visit their Cardinal Gibbons family. From the young alumni to old ones, they all loves to call themselves a Chief!

Saint John Paul II Academy

• Private School

Sophomore: Saint John Paul II offers an excellent catholic education. However, its location is not exactly ideal for students looking for a diverse campus. It was strange to see a predominantly white campus after coming from the public school system, but dedicated teachers and wonderful friendships make it all worth it.

All my classmates and teachers were truly amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better four years!

Chaminade Madonna College Preparatory School

• Private School
• Hollywood, FL
• 9-12
• 86

Senior: My experience at Chaminade Madonna has been beyond amazing! I attended CM my freshman and sophomore year. For my junior year I decided to transfer to another school for athletic reasons. I had a great time at my other high school, but it wasn't Chaminade. By attending two different schools I was able to compare the two and realized that Chaminade was my home. I decided to transfer back my senior year because I knew that was where I belonged and wanted to graduate from. The teachers, students, faculty, and staff make the environment there amazing. Everyone, whether or not you attend the school, are welcomed with open arms and warm smile. There just aren't enough words to describe how amazing the school is. I know that when I have kids and if I live in south florida, I will send my kids to Chaminade Madonna College Preparatory.

Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 9-12
• 115

Parent: As a parent, I can't be happier with ACC. My son has blossomed in high school because of the individualized attention he receives from teachers. Since ACC has small classroom sizes, students are able to get the individual attention they need. His English teacher was able to identify a subtle issue he was having and asked to meet with me. Because of her, he was able to overcome a small obstacle and his grades went up! And, he now loves Chemistry! All because he has GREAT teachers who really do challenge kids. ACC also cares about helping students grow outside the classroom. In less than 2 years at the school, my son has joined an honors society, taken a trip to two colleges with the school, gone to 2 college fairs with his teammates, started a community service project with a mentor, fed the homeless, gone to a leadership conference, and the list goes on and on. ACC has been a huge blessing to him!

Parent: I’ve had both my children in OLL since PreK! It is a warm, loving, family oriented school! It challenges their studebts in every way, academically, spiritually and developmentally! They have many after school activities from sports to clubs and it’s very easy to get involved! Parent involvement is great at the school. Teachers and administration and office staff work extremely hard to make sure each students needs at met! They work endlessly and do all they possibly can to give these students the best! I read some of these negative reviews and honestly, the people that wrote them are complete lies and uncalled for!

Nativity Elementary School

Niche User: The school is really great, the children not only learn academics but strong values that will last for a lifetime. The facilities could be better, but every year we see improvements in all areas and it shows that they are trying their best, especially considering tuition is reasonable and not as high as other top private schools in Broward.

Parent: Just one clarification... The other review states that the discount is only for what you put in, that is inaccurate this year. Last yeae, yes, it was insane. They made it an 800.00 credit for the 800.00 donation to the church (Which is still nice because it's a tax write off to the church but not as tuition) This year, the tuition (all inclusive of fees) with parishioners was between 9200 and 9700, I believe. My children have attended Scs since K and they have always been above their friends outside the school. It is a statement to the school that many of their teachers attended there and many of their parents were once students.
