I am glad I switched to this school. The staff and students are very welcoming. I didn't feels safe or welcome at my old school. My counselor at MLK was very rude, but the one at this school is very kind. My teacher and principal also are more helpful and seem to care about the students more than any other school I've been to.

Breach of confidentiality while we are fleeing dv they called my landlord about my daughter . Very weird indeed. They researched where I lived and called my landlord to pick up my daughter. 1. I don’t know my landlord like that and I found this completely unprofessional and irresponsible

My son loves Surfside! He has made major improvements in his grades and attitude. He is so much happier now than when he was at OHS. He feels safe and supported at Surfside. They have small classroom sizes and one on one teacher support. He is able to focus on one subject at a time which gives him the opportunity to succeed. We are extremely grateful for the opportunity for him to attend this academy. If he stays on track he could even graduate early!

When enrolling my daughter, every staff member I came in contact with were extremely nice and personable. My daughter does the independent study, but communication with her teacher still happens and she knows that she has support and guidance. It might not be for everyone but she loves it.

Our family absolutely loves Surfside. The staff is always so welcoming and genuinely seem happy to be there and with there students. All my kids are in the independent study format and they only went on campus once a week. Which made it even more impressive that when we came to graduation they knew my kids by name. I was in awe and admiration of how much they care for the success of the students by investing in them not only as a student but as a person outside of school, even in such a short weekly visit. I have had two kids graduate out of Surfside and they were both early graduates. Because my oldest graduated earlier than the rest of the seniors, he was able to dedicate more time at work and obtain a supervisor position at 17 years old. My daughter graduated an entire year early and was able to start college as a 16 year old. I am amazed by the education and skills this school provides. I have two more kids still at this school and I’m looking forward to their success in the coming years.
