Just amazing, we are very grateful to the teachers, coaches and staff for the universal education…read morethey bring to our daughters. The preschool and the elementary school facilities are full of technology and high stimuli design. We love that our children have the opportunity to experience a week full of sports, mindfulness, healthy food and languages to enhance their academic experience. The school allows and encourage the parents to actively engage with the student body and school community, celebrating different cultures and ideas. The staff is so welcoming and supportive that I can't say enough of positive things when looking back at our experience as parents and looking at our children each day. We really value all the nurture and love they receive everyday.

I had my daughters in this school for almost 2 years. During the first year there was high teacher…read moreturnover and decided to wait and give it time to see if academics would improve. The second year, Centner got more permanent teachers but I was not impressed at the pace and level of learning my kids were receiving. I didn't realize how bad it was until I decided to apply to other private schools in Florida. Throughout the application process I realized my daughters were almost a year behind other top schools like American Heritage, Pinecrest, Carrolton and the admissions staff were puzzled because all my kids had good grades (mostly As), but tested poorly. I also had issues during the interview process due to Centner's bad reputation as it's seen as a "controversial" school. Thankfully one school was flexible and gave me time to put them in intensive tutoring for 3 months and was able to get retested and ultimately got accepted. While at Centner, I also learned that some parents and even the owner are not interested in sending their kids to college. There's a huge emphasis on entrepreneurship which basically means they do a "marketplace" 3x a year where kids sell whatever product they chose. I found it a huge waste of time for myself as I had to do all the legwork to prepare for this event. At the end they are supposed to fill out a spreadsheet and calculate net income and I laughed at this requirement because #1 the kids in 3rd grade couldn't even give change at the event (no basic math skills) and #2 the homework always gets sent to the parents (aka parents have to do it). Did my kids learn anything throughout this process? no! But they did have fun with their friends on a Sunday morning. In terms of location, it's in the design district next to a food distribution center. Very bad traffic to get in and out of the school. In terms of community very radical views. I advise anyone interested in this school to do their homework first and see if this really fits you. At first I was interested to join their many chats on wasup but quickly got turned off by the personalities and information shared. I was attracted to Center due to their marketing tactics of colorful, happy and healthy school. I have to give it to them, they market themselves really well. They film every event that happens in the school and put it in social media. The admissions tour guy is a great sales man as I remember he insisted we apply right away because there weren't that many open slots. Later I found they were eager to get more students in the door and had plenty of vacancies. They even called me to see if I knew anyone that was interested in applying. They also contacted me to put a positive review on google. I liked the fact that they taught many languages, but later realized it's just a cultural immersion class where they learn how to count, sing and maybe 10 words in the foreign language during the entire school year. There's no academic pressure, it's like a big colorful daycare where kids go to play and hang out with their friends and the parents hang out there as well. The teachers are also seen as friends. They do meditation, mindfulness and a ton of activities and events for parents to participate. It was too much for me as I work full time.
