The STORY OF
CENTNER ACADEMY
When David and Leila Centner began researching schools for their young children, they did not find a school that met all of their expectations.
So they set out to create their own… They assembled a team of teachers and experts to develop an educational program that draws on all the best learning concepts from leading educational models including inquiry-based, project-based, self-directed and highly personalized learning. The result is a fully integrated state-of-the-art learning system with a complete curriculum for kids from preschool through high school graduation.
Center Academy goes beyond top private schools by teaching 21st century skills alongside accredited academic excellence. Centner Academy kids learn how to ace tests and they also learn how to manage their emotional intelligence, regulate their own happiness, collaborate as teams to be entrepreneurs and to operate successfully in a multitude of cultures with language immersion, including speaking Mandarin (Chinese) to become leaders of the global economy.

What PARENTS are saying...
Centner Academy Reviews
“They love coming to school… It’s a vibrant learning environment. The girls speak Mandarin now at home and it blows us away. I like the focus on emotional well-being and intelligence as they develop their own personalities. It’s been a huge blessing to have the girls at this school! ”
Ellie SmithParent 
“I love Centner Academy…The quality is unmatched! My daughter has been here since the start and I’m blown away…incredible education for our kids. Since my husband and I are public figures, the security is very important. Feeling your kid is secure is really important!”
Tomi StricklandParent 
"We’ve tried many schools. Before coming to Centner Academy their attention span, tantrums and ability to follow directions did not allow them to do things like join a soccer team or gymnastics. Now, since doing this program, our kids are able to do the things they’ve always wanted to do. The program here has really helped harness their potential and they have really grown and are thriving here! 100% -- our kids are happy since attending the program.”
Brian LongParent 
“My father always said that the best thing you do for your children is to give them an education. I looked for 2 years and visited 15 schools and I haven’t found anywhere else in South Florida a school that offers everything that I can find here. They have mindfulness every day, robotics, coding and a sports program that links to brain development. I work in HR and there are so many studies that show that kids that practice mindfulness have less anxiety, less depression and better health. They are doing that for our children. Right now we’re lucky to get in and I know there will soon be a waiting list.”
Selene TudelaParent 
“Centner Academy is a top tier school. I’m really proud that I discovered it and that my daughter is part of this big family and this uniqueness. I’m thrilled we finally have in Miami a full immersion school. My daughter now sings in Mandarin at home. She is loving the language and also she tells me how great she is learning through singing and playing and that’s what makes the difference. I speak four languages. In my work experience, it has definitely helped and opened my career path. I can only say good things about the school. We all know the curriculum is important and sports too; however the emotional aspect is really important and often not taught in school. It is key for their development and their life in general. They are teaching us important lessons of life. It’s growth also for the families and you don’t find that anywhere else.”
Nathalie VrangosParent 
“He now loves to learn and loves his new lifestyle. I can see the impact it’s having on my son and in our family. Before I was stressed out…my son had a hard time listening and he was very attached to me, crying and ready to explode. Now he is on a modified keto diet and he is a whole different human being. If it wasn’t for the school, this wouldn’t have been possible.”
