Parent: Having recently moved to the Miami area, my wife and I evaluated a multitude of local schools and are very happy with our selection of RE. It strikes the right balance of academic rigor, school spirit, and extracurricular activities. Our daughter's middle-school classmates are friendly and inclusive, and their parents are involved. We're happy with our choice and would highly recommend the school to anyone considering a Miami private school.... Read 89 reviews

Senior: Carrollton provides great education, great resources, a gorgeous campus, and a beautiful and supportive tight community. Classes are small and engaging. There is a strong STEM program with pretty good resources. The Arts Program in high school is pretty good too! The workload in high school is challenging and rigorous but with good time management, you can work hard and play hard. You will be well prepared for college!... Read 102 reviews

Senior: I have attended Gulliver for years and they run an amazing educational system. All the students create great, professional relationships with their teachers and it really helps the learning process. Their Theatre department is outstanding. Everyone has amazing opportunities to broaden their acting and musical ranges. They have amazing sports teams and the student body has great school spirit. They have numerous clubs and programs to join and students can even create their own club if the one they want isn't available. I highly recommend this school. I will say they could listen to student's ideas a little more because they truly have great ideas! Overall it's an amazing school.... Read 140 reviews

Senior: I love Palmer Trinity School because of the opportunities it has and will provide for me. Coming from a middle-class family, I never thought attending a school like Palmer Trinity would ever be possible. But the school gave me a scholarship and gave me an opportunity to attend this wonderful school. I truly value the academically challenging environment I am placed in and the peers surrounding me. The teachers truly care about not only my education but my well-being. The faculty and staff are extremely kind-hearted and create a warm, inclusive environment. Additionally, Palmer is a college preparatory school, therefore, I have had the opportunity to work alongside a college counselor and take courses to prepare me to attend a challenging University. I have enjoyed my four years at Palmer Trinity, and will forever be grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend.... Read 242 reviews

Senior: Overall I have been at Riviera Schools for nearly 10 years as a student. My experience with the school has been mostly very positive. I have very few complaints to make about the school. It is important, however, to mention how the basketball and volleyball teams receive preferential treatment over any other sports teams at the school.... Read 55 reviews

Alum: When I was enrolled in WCS I took multiple AP courses. In college, I was able to use the credits from these AP courses to count towards state required courses like economics and the majority of my writing requirement. Therefore, I was able to save money and time while working towards my major that was science-based. I am grateful for a school like WCS that offers multiple AP courses with incredible, faithful teachers who truly care for their students.... Read 120 reviews

Parent: Divine Savior Academy of Doral provides a nurturing environment where my son flourished in both academics and sports, while guided by the most thoughtful and respectful teachers and leaders. The culture is family centric and guided by the word of God. By doing so, our children become well rounded individuals who are able to succeed in future endeavors due to the foundation instilled in them based on integrity and faith. I highly recommend this school to everyone! The partnership between the staff and the PTO breeds success for our children. I am happy to discuss with anyone our experience in the 8 years that my son attended.... Read 53 reviews

Senior: Coming to Our Lady of Lourdes Academy as a freshman was an extremely challenging period. The primary characteristic of it being an all-girls school was one of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome, as growing up I was always brought up in a coeducational environment. However, I believe now this is one of its strongest features. The school instills strong senses independence and self-sufficiency, but at the same time cultivates a strong sense of community and solidarity. It brings out the best characteristics within a student, and helps them flourish in their respective fields. The school prepares you extremely well for college, as the education is rigorous, but ultimately fulfilling.... Read 214 reviews

Parent: My 3 Children went to Florida Christian School, Classes of 95, 96 and 2001. Can't Thank this School enough. It was a Blessing to them and to us. Still is. The 3 of them had the right Christian Foundation in Life. The 3 of them are very Succesful in the Career they choose. Now that the 3 of them are Parents, I can see how well they are doing raising their own Children. And If I had to do it all over again, choosing a School in Miami, I will choose FCS without any doubt in my mind. As I said, to me FCS was a Blessing in Our Family!... Read 133 reviews

Junior: St. Brendan has been a dream come true for me. Over the past 3 years, I have made friendships that will last a life time, and genuine relationships with the teachers. Every student is truly cared about. I have grown academically with challenging courses, and have also grown in my faith. I appreciate how St. Brendan makes a great effort to keep school enjoyable with events like the Sabre Cookoff and dances! My favorite thing about St. Brendan is how there is a place for everyone with 49 clubs and 100+ electives. The sports culture is astounding with amazing coaches and programs that help the athletes grow in their sport and in their life skills. The arts are loved and given extraordinary attention with events like the art gallery night and shows for the visual performing side. For those who are more into academics, there are lots of opportunities for them like the rigorous Alpha program! I am truly blessed to go to a school where it feels like home, and am proud to call myself a Sabre!... Read 526 reviews

Senior: IST is a very welcoming institute; it creates a bond with every family that arrives. Although, sometimes their teachers cannot be so much of help as they generalize their students and think they all are rich, bad-mannered youngsters just because of which school they attend and some can be quite rude when trying to "teach." However, all of my pre-k and elementary teachers were great, and my middle and high school english, math, spanish, and science teachers were incredible.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: The very intimate environment and friendly staff and faculty made my experience one to remember. Teacher-student relationships thrived because the class sizes were small and kids were able to learn efficiently without any distractions. The school encourages hard work and participation in its many clubs and organizations. The students are all very dedicated to their work and the teachers have no issue adjusting their coursework if students are having trouble understanding. Don't be fooled, however, the coursework is rigorous and requires a lot of attention. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better high school experience although at times it was difficult academically, the friends I made and teachers that pushed me to work harder will stick with me forever....

They always have a listening ear and put into action resolutions. They don't hinder the child's spiritual or educational growth; instead they encourage it by meeting them right where they are....

Senior: What I like about (GMAA) Greater Miami Adventist Academy are the connections I make there. Whether you are a student, faculty, or teacher the connections you make there can last a life time. We all treat each other as family and whether someone feels down or sad we can always be able to help one other. In our worship services and life groups, we consistently connect with those who feel left out and are free to be vulnerable. Many who leave GMAA, will never forget the experiences they shared in high school and middle school. It's an amazing school where you can be safe and share your experiences.... Read 41 reviews

Parent: I was totally lost when our school counselor told me my daughter wouldn't graduate on time and recommended American High School Academy. AHSA gave my daughter the opportunity to get back on track and graduate high school on time. The counselors go above and beyond, immediately after graduation, they helped me get her enrolled in Miami Dade College and apply for FAFSA. THANK YOU!... Read 11 reviews

Senior: My experience at Champagnat Catholic School has been anything but ordinary. Throughout these years, I have gained so much knowledge not only in an academic perspective , but socially. I have been taught about life. I have never met more inspiring teachers and staff members than the ones at Champagnat. They help you grow and develop at your own pace. You will gain focus on your religious faith at Champagnat. However, like any school, improvement is always a must. There is a lack of extracurricular activities that do not have to do with sports. This is something that new students with a passion for change can certainly CHANGE.... Read 14 reviews
