Centner Academy Testimonials
This is the best school we have ever been to. My kids are SO happy going to school everyday and they are so excited to learn all of the amazing things they have access to at this school that we had only dreamed about before finding Centner. Abstract art, gardening, bake no bake, and the entrepreneurial program gets them SO excited!! My kids are noticing business ideas in our everyday life 🙂 We recently moved to a new building and my girls wanted to go to the gym and run on the treadmill and the security came to tell us that kids are not allowed. My 7 year old responded “you know how Ms. Leila was looking for a school for her kids and didn’t find one that she liked, so she created one? Well I think we should create a gym for kids” 😍😍 and these convos happen ALL THE TIME now 😊 The change in mindset is mind-blowing and affects everything! They know how to breathe and soothe themselves (or “hold on to their Zen”) They work to resolve conflicts and communicate their feelings and their needs.
All the things I wish I’d been taught at that age (or ever!)
This school is changing the world, one child (and 1 parent) at a time 😊
Watching these children brings me so much joy and instills so much hope for humanity as a whole.
These children are the future and the future's looking brighter and brighter every day 🌈
We were not expecting to find this gem of a school when we moved from NYC to Miami a few years ago. Our child was a toddler when she started here and she is consistently happy and stimulated. She is safe, loved and respected and absolutely adores being at school. It gives us great peace of mind to witness her thriving and we are so grateful for this vibrant community and well rounded educational experience. Of course robust academics are imperative, but this school goes much further as it recognizes the "whole" child, from very specific food choices (organic, sugar and gluten-free, much of it sourced from the school’s own impressive farm), to a mindfulness practice, to entrepreneurship lessons and opportunities. We also love the language programs on offer and they reflect the international nature of the student and staff body.
We have 3 kids at Centner. 8th, 5th and 2nd grades.
They couldn’t be happier.
A regular day at school starts with mindfulness, continues with strong academics and every day it includes PE, recess, foreign language and specials (art, music, sound healing, entrepreneurship, technology…).
And that is just the basics.
The school has multiple special events and activities that parents can be involved. Marketplace, parent and child bonding, Farm Festival, are some examples of last month’s happenings.
Teachers and staff are super professional and loving.
The organic food comes straight from the farm and it is homemade daily by the chef.
We feel blessed to be part of the Centner community.
If you want your kids to be prepared for the real world, Centner is the only place for them to be. My 4 year old is already learning about business/entrepreneurship, mindfulness… and 3 languages. Not to mention all the food they serve the kids is organic, gluten free, sugar free and dairy free. Being in a school that supports our belief systems in business and life is everything to my wife and I, and we are thankful everyday that we found Centner Academy!
