I hope this helps someone; I don’t have anything positive to say and I mean, absolutely nothing positive about this school, it’s sports, it’s curriculum, it’s teachers, the property maintenance (especially lower elementary bathrooms) , it’s bullying, it’s superficial community, it’s academics, it’s student cliques or its parents cliques. I completely agree with the negative reviews. The only thing that changed is they have a newer principal since the rave reviews were posted about the old one who was stellar. I understand no school is perfect but choose another school for your children. I was looking for an academically challenging school, with many loving encouraging teachers, preferably Catholic teachers practicing their Catholic faith, who enjoy (or at least appear to) teaching and their students. I was hoping for more inclusive parents and kids, not all, but at least a few. Also, more supervision in the lower grades when it comes to bullying and maybe a school that makes the parents feel like they are welcome and appreciated.

This is probably the worst school in Miami. From academics to student ethics. No one does anything about the bullying

Poor academics, behind on teaching methods, and not individualized to students. The school does not promote critical thinking amongst the kids, and there is little to no STEM. Many parents have removed their kids from the school due to issues with staff and teachers. Positive for teaching Catholic values.

My experience so far at Epiphany Catholic School in Miami has been amazing. Great emphasis on spiritual and academic values. Most of the teachers for our daughters have been amazing as well and make their learning experience so enjoyable. The school itself is beautiful it provides effective education, great resources, a gorgeous campus, and a beautiful and supportive tight community.

Epiphany was a good school. The Roman Catholic environment promotes spiritual as well as academic growth. The academics were not great, and I hardly had to study. Like most schools, epiphany has cliques, but they are not as nasty as some people imply. The teachers are nice, but not all of them are necessarily good teachers. The principal is probably the strong point of the school. She is one of the kindest and most dedicated people you will ever meet. Do not attend, though, if you are not willing to be a practicing catholic. Families MUST attend Sunday mass with some regularity and students attend school masses almost every Friday. The only downside to Epiphany is that there is a huge academic adjustment for high school. This school does not prepare students very well for high school with its mediocre academics. I had a 100 in a class without cracking a book, for goodness' sake.

I have 2 kids at Epiphany and we are pleased. First and foremost, the goal of this school is to help develop a good human being with a solid Catholic foundation to carry them thru life. Secondly, the academics are good (not great) but getting better. Sister Margaret, the principle is awesome. Like all of Miami, there are cliques. The school can't control human behavior, they can only remind parents how a good catholic treats others. The tuition is amazingly low compared to other private schools. Don't enter this school unless you plan to live the Catholic faith and to reinforce that faith at home . Attending Mass is an obligation of all Catholics and is expected at this school.

Epiphany is not a good choice! I know of kids who have been bullied and were taken out for being bullied. It got so bad that one girl kicked the back of one girl's legs while running the laps in PE. The school has many cliques that only a few can join. if you are not in a clique, then you will get wierd looks and people will talk bad about you. the principal was a sweetheart and did everything she could.

Epiphany is a great school for catholic people! This is a school for true catholic people... those that understand that you need to practice actively what you believe in. Yes you have to go to mass to be part of this community.. why is that a problem? This is a catholic school after all. It is located in a wealthy community, so wealth is obvious but you don't need to be intimidated! You are there for God, not to look around other people. Some people can have an actitud, but they are like that in other places, let's not blame the school and the church for that!!

I am unfortunately an alumni from this horrible school. My brother and I refuse to go back to the school. All they worry about is who has what and how. Parents are hypocrites and pretend to be frinds among each other. Kids bully kids. If your rich everyone is jealous of you, if your poor everyone mocks you and if your in between your having to compete with the rich. Teachers donct care about students or are rude. Only the strong backboned can survive. I myself was usually critqued because my family chose to actually earn good money. Most are stuck up snobs and I chose not to let them turn me into a snub and therefore looked "weird and uncool" per say.

Epiphany is the best Catholic elementary school in Miami. Known for it's superior academics, the students in Epiphany get into whatever highschool they want. Compared to other more expensive schools such as St. Theresa were all students end up going to C rate highschools such as La Salle and St. Brendan. My children could stay here forever. They love everyday. The nuns are fabulous and so are the teachers esp. the ones who have been around for a long time (most of them).
