I went to this school from 1-5 grade, and honestly I blame a lot of my problems on this school. I'm…read morein 9th grade (going into 10th now), and The Biltmore School left me severely underprepared for regular school life. Yes, the small hands on approach is definitely good for children with disabilities/developmental issues, however if you take a child without these difficulties and then put them into a regular school (public schools) your kids gonna have a lot of problems. The schools probably changed since my time attending, sure, however while I was there, it was even unsafe for kids with issues. An example of this would be with my cousin who also attended at the same time as me, who was autistic and low support needs. He was a victim of bullying, which got the a point where a student broke his arm. As for me, I didn't have these sorts of issues (I have ADHD but that's never effected my learning so I don't count it) and after I left The Biltmore, I was introduced to many different learning tools such as iready, IXL, ect. However, The Biltmore never taught me how to use these programs, and the larger classes of public schools meant that my teachers rarely offered me help with using these programs, leaving me to teach myself which made me struggle at the beginning of my education in public schools. To any parents thinking of sending your children here; DO NOT. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!! As a former student, I'm begging you not to send your kids here, it was genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life.

I am truly sorry, I did not know and now that I know better, I will never use them again. He is stiill thriving here and the supports provided to help him suceed are stronger than ever. Enrolling him here in kindergarten was one of the best decisions I could have ever made. He is included and it's evident in his friends group chat on his phone. They adore him and that makes my heart so happy. It truly is a blessing when you can leave your child at school every day and never have to worry. All of his teachers have been a blessing! My youngest child is in 1st grade and also thriving!

The warmth, kindness, and genuine care from every staff member create an environment that feels like home. What makes Aguamarina so unique is not only the way children learn through play, but also the emphasis on emotional development, values, and a sense of belonging. Our children are not just learning--they're thriving, surrounded by love, patience, and encouragement. The teaching method is truly next-level, blending structure and creativity in such a thoughtful and meaningful way. Aguamarina isn't just a preschool--it becomes family. We couldn't recommend it more highly. - Perez Family PK1

We're constantly amazed by how naturally our daughter learns and how she applies new knowledge in her daily life. The school's hands-on and personalized approach truly reflects the new era of education -- children learn by exploring, playing, and connecting with the world around them. We couldn't be happier to see both of our daughters thriving in such an inspiring place.

The level of education provided seems different than that of a regular public or magnet school. The amount of homework given is definitely more than most, but my daughter has soared since attending school here. Her 1st Grade teacher is amazing and still checks on her even though she is no longer in her class. (I am not including her name to keep other teachers from being jealous ) The parents are active in the school as well. They recently held an event called SMACK Night where it dealt with Science and Math activities (Science and Math Activities Connecting Kids). This is not the only event that the school holds. They beautify their campus by Campus Cleanups. They have a Butterfly Garden. All of the activities get the parents and students involved with the school as well as develop pride in the school as well. Mr. Calzadilla is a great principal, and he has amazing Asst. Principals, teachers, and Support Staff as well. OH, most importantly, the school has been an A school for many years and it is a Green School as well. I can go on and on about this school simply because the school, and it's employees, have earned it! Check their website for the Magnet Application. www.airbasek8.net

I was in brought to and from school by a private transportation service. I was always the first to get picked up, and the first to get dropped off. Every morning for those years, I was the kid made fun of all the time, or looked at as weird, called names exe. Traumatic tbh.. Over the years, especially the last year I was there. I grew a special love for this place, Beth, Piaza, Havrilla, Gentles, Sol, Sinclair (tho she was there for a short time, she sparked my love for writing and reading and photography. She looked like the small scientist woman in all black from the Incredibles, hair and all, glasses and all.) Rodriguez, Brauntuch (i forgot how to spell her last name, I feel terrible). Throughout my twenties, I visited often, give thanks, appreciation and gratitude. This school saved my life. life is still incredible difficult as an high functioning AuDHD person, i dont understand still a lot of things In social norms or cues. This school taught me to embrace myself, keep pushing, love myself, and so much more. This isnt just a school.. 30 years old now, I still think of the staff and that school. Hope my classmates are navigating well through life.
