What makes this school so special is that every child is truly seen as an individual and supported not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The teachers and staff genuinely care about their students and create a warm, loving environment where children feel supported and encouraged to be their best selves. Learning goes far beyond textbooks through hands-on experiences, project-based learning, and unique programs like entrepreneurship, where students get the opportunity to create and run their own businesses. Centner Academy also places a strong focus on healthy organic lunches, a clean environment without harsh chemicals, and always looking for ways to grow and improve. More than anything, this school feels like a community. It's a place where people truly care about children and are dedicated to helping them become confident, capable, and kind human beings.

Moving from São Paulo to Miami with my family was already a big transition, especially since the…read moreacademic calendar is different in Brazil and the U.S. In December, I visited Centner Academy to enroll my daughter for the school year starting in February, which was what we had agreed upon. Everything seemed set. When I arrived in Miami in January, I contacted the school, and they requested that my daughter spend a full day there for observation and take a test. They also charged me a $200 fee for this process. After that day, they informed me that her enrollment would depend on the results of her interaction and test. At the end of the day, when I picked her up, they did not share the test results. Instead, they told me they would discuss internally and get back to us the following week. Over 10 days went by with no response, so I reached out again. Once more, they asked for more time, saying they needed to discuss further. This back-and-forth dragged on for over a month. During this time, my daughter stayed at home without schooling, waiting for a response. Finally, after constant follow-ups, they informed us that they would not accept her because her English was not strong enough and they lacked the resources to support her as a non-native speaker. I lost $200, wasted my time, and--worst of all--left my daughter without proper schooling for nearly two months. The school never called me in for a personal conversation, did not honor their promised timelines, and failed to communicate clearly. They also never shared the evaluation materials or results that supposedly led to their decision. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere. They are neither accessible nor empathetic, and their lack of professionalism caused my family unnecessary stress during an already challenging time.
