2019 Best Charter Schools in the Miami AreaAbout this List

Archimedean Upper Conservatory (AUC)

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 95

Junior: Archimedean is definitely not a school for everyone, but this is exactly what makes it special. Archimedean is a school where faculty members truly care about your future, and their tireless work is highly evident of this. Students learn to manage their time and receive excellent college preparation. In regards to the classes, the Archimedean curriculum is definitely different than most, which is exactly what makes it an effective and engaging curriculum. From Euclidean Geometry to Political Philosophy to Logic to Discrete Math to Greek Language the classes offered at Archimedean ensure that students receive a well-rounded education. At times, the workload might seem unbearable, but this is for our own good- we learn to manage our time wisely and to pace ourselves accordingly. As a junior, I wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Doral Academy Charter High School

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 397

Senior: Doral Academy is what you make of it. There are phenomenal life changing teachers and mentors but there also teachers that you don’t learn all that much from. However, with my experience I’ve been fortunate enough to have the majority of my teachers as the former. Academy has really prepared me for my future endeavors and I think that every year as it goes forward as a school it continues to build on and get better. This is true with teachers and new facilities and events. Out of the schools in the Doral area, Doral Academy is truly the best high school education you can attain. In the Miami area, it’s certainly a strong competitor against other powerhouse schools that have been dominating the educational sphere for a long time. I believe that maybe 5 years from now after I graduate, Doral Academy will be amongst the best of the best in Miami!

Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC)

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 6-8
• 6

Parent: I am a parent of two students that have attended Archimedean Middle Conservatory. Our overall experience has been nothing but positive. The administration along with the teachers create an atmosphere that is both safe and nurturing. Whenever any of my two children have had a concern or just needed to talk to someone, there is always a teacher or the principal that is available to take time out of their schedule to hear them out. Academically, the school prepares all the students equally for success whether the student is gifted or in the non-gifted setting. I can honestly say that I am very proud and thankful that my children had the opportunity to attend Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC). No other school in the county could have prepared them as well as Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC) has.

Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 102

Senior: What I liked about Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy is the opportunities presented to students who are immensely dedicated to their craft. As a singer, I’ve been able to perform in places like Carnegie Hall in New York City, Adrienne Archt Center, Kobe Center in South Carolina, and Disney World. I also liked the techniques presented to students in relation to their arts. They are taught many valuable skills that are useful for their future in a career in the arts. For example, I’ve been taught vocal lessons that have been essential for auditions to colleges like Berklee College Of Music and AMDA. I believe that the only change needed should be more funding for the arts. Our program has very small classroom with restricted space, it would be nice to have more space for our practices.

Aventura City of Excellence School

Middle School Student: As a middle school student at ACES i think it is an overall great school. Everywhere you go there is going to be a popular clique and some mean kids but they’re not that bad. The teachers are very nice and patient with bad kids. I agree the office could use a school nurse, i’ve had a few bad experiences there... The principle is a very responsible and really cares about the school. I live very far from the school and there is usually a lot of traffic but once i arrive there are police officers to guide the traffic into school and it makes me feel very safe.

Parent: It is a very challenging and academically focused school. It is great for very bright children. However, do not send your child here if they have any type of learning disability or IEP, they will not ensure needs are being met.

International Studies Charter High School

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 105

Alum: I spent my entire High School life at ISCHS. At first I was hesitant in going there when searching for a high school to go to. But once I got there and integrated myself I absolutely loved it. I attended ISCHS to follow a dual-curriculum program which included the French Baccalaureate High School Diploma and the American High School Diploma. I received a very thorough education in everything needed to succeed. The french program is so good that when I initially went in I barely even knew how to read and write in french, and I only spoke a bit. By my senior year I was passing the French national exams along with my french classmates and passed!
International Studies Charter High School is a fairly small school which lends to the atmosphere of knowing everyone. All your teachers are friendly and you know practically everyone you pass in the halls.
I highly recommend this school.

Senior: My time spent at Coral Springs Charter School for past 7 years has been such an amazing experience. Being at the same school with same people has been very easy to make friends, and to be comfortable with ones you know well. The whole school is seen as one big family! I like how all of administration is there to help you with whatever issue you may be going through. Everyone has your back and is very reliable. Guidance counselors work with you all year, especially for your senior year and hopefully you get accepted into your dream school. I love going to this school. I'm soo happy that my parents went out of their way and pushed through so that I was accepting into this excellent school. I love every bit of it and wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Niche User: This school gave me the education I needed to be where I am today. In fact, the charter system as whole helped me get to where I am today. I have complete faith in my ability to conquer many things because I know how much knowledge I posses and how smart I feel I am. I work hard for my grades and I strive to remain at the top of my class to this day. College is quite different, but I had some great teachers prepare me for what was to come. This school has the cream of the crop for teachers. Besides faculty, though, we have spirit week when everyone dresses up in costumes. We have football games and other sports games. We have traditions of senior pranks and putting detergent in the fountain to make it bubble. We have people as others to go to prom in the most grandiose ways. This school is unique and at times I would agree that it is a family.
