We have a 2nd and 5th grader and I've always been pleased with their teachers, the staff is very professional and has always been helpful when I had questions or when I was at the school to visit. The grounds of this school are so well kept, the security here gives me comfort as well, so many resource officers and lots of teachers out helping kids when it's time for final bell. Teachers are great at communicating here, we couldn't make it to our sons parent teacher conference so she called us and had a phone conference instead, they are so good at working around busy schedules too! Highly recommend this school to anyone in the area.

I was placed for my internship here and my 5th grade cooperating teacher is incredible. She allows me to use my obtained education knowledge to prepare and teach the students in the class.

Most homeworks are done online where help is available to the child. The principal, assistant principal, teachers are all extremely welcome and there is an open door policy. The school is in a very safe neighborhood and the school is packed with cameras, which is amazing for the safety of the children. Unfortunately a charter school isn't for everyone. If you can't learn to follow RULES this school would not be a good match. If you like to socialize, engage with the child's education and volunteer then this is definitely a great school. GO Lightings !!!!!!

Charter schools operating as for-profit real estate schemes are draining money meant for students…read moreand teachers. Florida, it's time to pay attention. A recent analysis of Education Management Organizations (EMOs) operating in Florida uncovered a striking example: a charter firm and its construction partner sold two newly built schools to their affiliated real estate partner -- one for just $1, the other for $10. Once the real estate firm took over the leases, it raised the rent on the school that sold for $1 all the way up to $1,325,666 per year. That's public education money -- money meant for classrooms, teachers, and students -- flowing straight into a related company's pocket through an inflated lease. Florida taxpayers deserve to know where their school dollars are actually going.

DO NOT send your kids here. Avoid enrolling your children here. Numerous safety issues have arisen…read moresince the new administration took over in 2022, such as teachers leaving mid-year, frequent lockdowns, uncontrolled bullying, and violations of overcrowded classroom laws and children's restroom rights. Furthermore, there's a notable lack of professionalism from the administration and office staff. Advocating for your child is discouraged, and if you do, expect rude and upsetting responses. Your child may be seen merely as a financial asset, with little regard for their actual education. The school's "A" rating is solely due to a policy change, as they are unwilling to address safety concerns or any other issues. If you don't speak English, unfortunately, you're marginalized under this administration. Evite inscribir a sus hijos aquí. Han surgido numerosos problemas de seguridad desde que la nueva administración asumió en 2022, como la salida de maestros a mitad de año, bloqueos frecuentes, acoso sin control y violaciones a las leyes de aulas abarrotadas y los derechos de los niños para usar el baño. Además, hay una notable falta de profesionalismo por parte de la administración y el personal de la oficina. Desalientan la defensa de su hijo y, si lo hace, espere respuestas groseras e inquietantes. Su hijo podría ser considerado simplemente como un activo financiero, con poca consideración por su educación real. La calificación "A" de la escuela se debe únicamente a un cambio de política, ya que no están dispuestos a abordar preocupaciones de seguridad u otros problemas. Si no habla inglés, lamentablemente, queda marginado bajo esta administración.h

Never send your child here! I have never in my 47 years of living thought a child could be bullied…read morethis bad, but it is indeed true. My daughter Elizabeth was enroled to this school because we moved from NJ to FL and wanted a fresh start. Things seemed to had started out fine first, but then the bullying started by one girl and her two little friends. It was just small things at first, like picking on her hair, her physique, and just little things. But then that turned into cyber bullying. They started to post terrible things about her on the app snap-chat and tick tock. We informed the school and teachers about this, but they just told her and me to ignore it. Then she started coming home with bruises on her face and arms. She said that started cornering her on the playground and jumping her, calling her slurs. Thankfully, we left this school after it got this bad and my sweet Elizabeth is ok now. I do also wanna say one ,ore thing, she told the the girl who did most of this to her was a child named Angie. So if you do end uo sending your child here, BEWARE OF ANGIE!!!

We walked down a long hallway to get to the nave. It was a great spot for a ceremony. It was really intuitive and people from the bride's family were along the hallway guiding us to go forward. There was even the sign of the bride and groom which confirmed we were going the correct way. There was a gender neutral single bathroom in the hallway to the nave. This was my first catholic wedding ceremony and it was beautiful. There were readings and songs. My favorite part was when the priest shared some advice, guidance, and prayers for the married couple. He was very welcoming, kind, and encouraging. It was a great ceremony.

I had Siri/Apple Maps pull up Canterbury's address before picking up my kids one day and was…read moresurprised that my search pulled up Yelp reviews - for a children's school? It's unfortunate that some folks had a negative experience with their kids here, but the same can be said for any public and private school - some kids and families do well and some do not. Private schools do have their drawbacks - specials needs, etc - as they simply don't have the vast resources as the public system does and are unable to change / derive curriculum to match each child and family due to their size and scope. As far as my experience at Canterbury with my two children, they love It and are learning at an excellent clip. The parent community is close-knit and are active participants at the school on a daily basis. I would give this school 10 stars if I could. That said, making a decision on your child's education is a very important and personal decision. In-person visits, interviews, and learning about the unique communities and cultures first hand are a must. In my opinion, if you are relying on Yelp and/or Google reviews, you're doing it wrong.
