Our family was part of Florida Christian School for several years, and unfortunately our experience declined significantly over time. While there are individual teachers who genuinely care about their students, the overall environment has become increasingly rigid, inconsistent, and discouraging for families. There is a strong sense of favoritism at this school that was really disappointing to witness. It felt very cliquish, and some students with serious behavior issues were given immunity simply because of who their families knew. That doesn’t feel Christ-like, and it definitely didn’t feel like a healthy or fair environment for the kids who were doing the right thing. The school also struggles with very high teacher turnover. This lack of consistency affects students’ learning and relationships, and often reflects underlying problems with leadership, morale, and support for staff. The school appears to be pushing academics extremely hard in the younger grades in an effort to improve its long-standing reputation for weak academics. Unfortunately, this pressure is developmentally inappropriate for young children and creates unnecessary stress for students, families, and teachers.We truly value Christian education, and we wanted this school to be a long-term home for our family. The strength FCS has is the parent involvement and the school has improved aesthetically. However, based on our experience, we cannot recommend Florida Christian School to parents who are looking for a supportive, developmentally appropriate, and collaborative environment for their children.

KCS is a wonderful school! If you are looking for a small school, K2 through high school, where the faculty and staff really care about your child, this is the school for you. There is one class per grade, small class sizes and a warm and loving environment. The school does its very best to teach and challenge students, while sharing Christ and His love. I have worked at three different schools in the office, and I can honestly say KCS is the best around!

The staff does not care about teaching and have no work ethic. They do not strive to go above and beyond or learn about your child. They are at best nice people but NOT real teachers. If your kid is slightly off they will insinuate they are autistic. It’s shameful.

By far the most caring, safe, academically challenging schools with the best staff in Miami.
