Private Schools

This school is one of the best schools in all of miami dade county

This school is the worse ... they keep 4 years old class without air conditioning for over a month, and they always give u a stupid excuse. the director LIli she is una mentirosa y no sabes como llevar una escuela. ellos solo quieren que les pagues, los ninos no aprenden nada aqui. no lleves a tus hijos aqui, se van a arrepentir.

Best school ever lol

Great in all aspects!!!!!!

I, unlike Bob, have been a student there and I can certainly say that the teachers there are under a lot more pressure than they would be in an average school. As you said, Susan, most of the teachers have been there for quite a while, so I'm assuming they just got used to it. Killian Oaks is a completely different environment from any other school I've been to before, and that is saying something. That goes for the learning environment and the teaching environment. As someone who has been there, I would urge parents and students looking to enroll to do their research and be sure that KOA is the right school. It's ideal for some types of students, but certainly not for all. The teachers overall are very understanding and supportive of the students and they're more than happy to give one on one assistance, but the materials they teach come from books that would be considered remedial in most public and private schools. Yes, you can request honors books, but those are usually just the average level books elsewhere. KOA was a valuable learning experience for me, but I cannot deny that I felt restricted in some ways while enrolled.

Bridgeprep Private lastimosamente es una escuela que no toma en serio el papel de enseñar. Mi hijo estuvo desde prek hasta 4th pensando yo que cada año iba a mejorar pero al contrario, cada año se ponia peor. Tiene excelentes instalaciones pero eso es todo. Cambian de profesores varias veces durante el año, e inclusive ponen a supuestos maestros pero no tienen el titulo de maestros. La administracion de PESIMA, no hay organizacion alguna. Esta escuela lo unico que hace es cojer tu dinero todo el año y al final, los niños no aprenden nada, y es en serio, estan muy atrazados, pero no es culpa de los profesores, es culpa de la administracion. Que horror y que tristeza que jueguen con la educacion de los niños. Si estas buscando una escuela seria y buena para tu hijo, Bridgeprep Private no es la opcion indicada.

Good school

Best school ever. Excellent staff

My son has improved a lot in this school. I am very happy with his progress and the excellent work of the school teachers and the office staff. Particularly Mrs Davis, Mr Frost and Mrs Salazar who are with him this academic year. The love and caring i have seen with Mrs Davis is amazing.

When we went to open house at FUMCS we were only going there to check it out. Our plan was to look at other schools before making a decision on where to send our son. We did not leave that day without paying for the registration! All it took was having a conversation with a child that was a student at FUMCS for us to realize that this is where we wanted our son to go to school. The way she expressed herself and was able to hold a conversation with an adult was impressive. The teachers are ALL AMAZING!! They will love your child as if they are their own. What more can a parent ask for? FUMCS is a five star Christian Private School because of the attention that they have been able to provide to the needs of each, individual student, and while at the same time retaining a remarkable high level of academic excellence. Each child is viewed individually and allowed to grow to become who they will be and not who someone else thinks they should be. Religion class and the love for Christ that the children are taught is amazing! From their teachers to the administration to their coach are all magnificent people that I can honestly say started off as teachers and staff and have become part of our family as the years have gone on. The administration staff is very welcoming and help in everything and anything they can. In my opinion this is one of the greatest gifts we can give our boys. We absolutely love FUMCS!

The children are treated like paychecks. They are not taught and their teachers are fired for even mentioning their academic deficiencies. The children are not cared for or truly taught. They are tolerated for profit. Most of the teachers do not have actual degrees in anything- much less education and the school is run by a family. I was a teacher there and I really cared for those students and my job. One day I was abruptly fired for literally NO REASON. Only a week or so earlier had I reported a 4th grade student to the principal for calling me a *igger. I was promptly told to basically get over it, not tell the parents (no one told the parents), and act as if it never happened. Even though I didn't make a big fuss about it, and kept doing my job professionally, I was soon fired in the middle of the day. I was told that there was too much gossiping going on. But I think they actually feared that I would stir up trouble due to racist comment and other things. It was a very bad experience and it opened my eyes up to how corrupt private education can be. No it's not just public schools. I wouldn't work for this company and I most CERTAINLY would never allow any child whose education I value- to this institution. Your child will not get the academic support, resources, or tools they need to be successful. But there is a reason this school is located in a very poor neighborhood. They know that these people are here out of convenience and desperate for child care. They exploit this fact.

Was there for 1997 and loved every bit of it! Mr. Havrilla ( I thinkn is how you spell) was awesome! Mrs. Minkin was awesome too

I can't say enough about this school. Had to go back to work 2 and a half months after giving birth and I couldn't find a nanny that I felt comfortable with. I was going nuts looking for childcare for my tiny baby when someone recommended this school. On my first visit, I knew this was the place for my baby. Clean, loving environment. Director Janice de Armas walks you through everything and is always patient with my "new mommy" questions. Also, She runs a tight ship as far as security measures go to make sure the campus is secure. The campus is gorgeous and has a good energy about it. Teachers are caring and very knowledgeable in their field. My son started at 2.5 months and is now a thriving, sociable 2year old, and I know ICS has played an important role in that.

This review is based on what I heard first hand, what I saw, and what I was told, directly by the staff at this school. It is not based on other reviews or another persons experience with TCA. This is what my family and I experienced. I would still give this school a huge zero if given the option. I highly recommend another school. Not TCA. Do your research and choose wisely. Regardless of other reviews, I stand by my own and will not hesitate to explain what my family and I encountered with the staff.
