Private Schools

The BEST daycare/preschool in Tampa! My son was one of the first babies to attend this school when they first opened. The teachers are amazing and I love the owners. They truly have a passion for seeing kids grow and learn. I love the backyard and covered lanai where the kids can play outside almost every day. I can't say enough good things about this school. I'm so glad I found a place to send my last "baby" until he goes to Kindergarten.

This is a home school environment type of "school" if that's what you're looking for. They spend a great deal more time on musical instruments, Musical Theater, music band, and on martial arts Tae Kwon Do & more. .....then any educational subjects, if that's what you want for your child. So math, science, reading, writing - all those edu. requirements will have an extremely slow progress with your child/children.. . . . . very little time will be spent on basic required educational subjects. Their 3 assistance have poor attendance and all three teacher's assistants are Autistic and are part of their teachers / students ratio and are the sons of 2 owners / teachers husband and wife. They never hire anyone, bit even a receptionist . As others say "they are weird," in many ways, they're different, so if u click with them great, if you don't your best bet is to take your child out of their so called "school" which is their very small rented space. AND PLEASE BE VERY CAUTIOUS WITH YOUR CHILD'S SCHOLARSHIP $$$, They WILL BILL FOR 2 QUINMESTERS INSTEAD OF ONE. .... and the list goes on and on. They will charge for materials, books, way before your child is tested or assessed, they make sure they get their $$$ first.

Getting bit expensive but good school for Montessori program.

Exelente colegio. Aplican el sistema Montessori. Personal Altamente calificado. Siempre tiene. Las puertas abiertas.

This is my first review anywhere but I had to report my terrible experience for my child and I ! They have a male “teacher” who looks to be of 18 years of age, who is suppose to take care of the children but goes around and acts like one of them , telling my child that she’s a loser and weird ! He’s suppose to supervise , educate , take care of the children & stop that kind of behavior between children , not act like one of them ! When I tried to talk to the owner about this , she just ignored my calls and blocked my number! My child has begged me to never bring her back again & I never will . Please watch out .

They should learn about the gospel of Christ and not of good works john 3:16

An amazing school that prepares graduates for the present and the future. As a graduate and the parent of a graduate and two current students, I am proud to be part of the Hillel Academy family.

CDS has everything we want for our son. Academics, Athletics, and IB. Teachers and faculty give 100%! Very proud to be a CDS Mom. #cdswherecaringiscommon #CDSstrong #weAreCDS

This school offers a very warm, friendly, inviting, family environment. My daughter comes home each day with lots to discuss and, she is excited about going to school each day. Academically...I am very satisfied, my child is learning above her level. God is truly present in this school environment. The staff is always pleasant, kind and helpful. The children pray constantly throughout the day, with daily Bible teachings. I Thank God for taking me along that route, where I saw the registration sign stating the acceptance of Step Up For Students Scholarship!

We love this school and there is no one there better there than Jennifer Epps!

St. John's is an excellent school we love the student teacher ratio.

It is a school of exellence.It is from infants to 6th grade. There is free breakfast and lunch for kids. Overall it is a great school!

I recently attended a meet and great at the school, and was impressed by the Faculty and the Curriculum! I'd been looking for a more personal and child centered school for my 8 yr. old since we left SJCDS. Public school (Patterson Elementary) just wasn't living up to our expectation: No Music, Very little Arts, No Theater, just common CORE :( . After touring OPPAA and talking with the staff, I think that my little girl will grow and learn more at this school than Patterson Elementary. We are looking forward to the opportunities to attend dance, music, theater - both on stage and behind the scene education. In addition to that, they are using Google Chrome Book's this year! I will be able to see my girls progress in real time. They are a forward looking institution and we are very excited to start this fall.

A wonderful and extensive educational experience
