The thing I dislike most about this school is the fact that we are not being prepared for college. There is no foreign language, no higher maths and sciences, and the teachers don’t care about making sure you can be ready for college. A lot of the teachers are good people and have amazing personalities but they can’t seem to teach well enough. We don’t get enough time to socialize with our classmates. Because the curriculum is very basic and behind it’s so easy to get lost in the system if you’re going to another school or college

Center Academy truly cares for each and every student. They want the child to succeed academically. The class sizes are small the teachers are well trained and experienced. Our children are succeeding academically making friends and participating in sports and after school clubs. Their self esteem and confidence has grown immensely since attending Center academy. Academically they continue to grow and improve every semester. My husband and I are so happy we found this school.

My daughter loves attending school at Center Academy. She has attended other private and public schools and would come home in tears because she was so overwhelmed. She thrives at Center Academy. The teachers are not only encouraging but also engaging. She has lots of friends and is excited about her future. The staff is wonderful and supportive. If you are looking for a good fit for your child you should really check out Center Academy.

The principal, teachers, and staff are amazing. Their high expectations only make the students want to achieve that and much more. This school treats each student as a unique individual who deserves guidance, education, love, and support. My son felt safe & comfortable and as a parent I enjoyed peace of mind knowing that my child was both challenged and cared for. Thank you Center Academy

I can not brag enough about this school and the great change it has brought into my son's life. He has improved not only in his grades but also in his self-esteem and confidence. So glad I got him in here.

I would rate Center Academy a 10 out of 10. There is nothing more important then a motivated child.

Overall satisfied. I do think there are too many field trips and too many days were learning is not happening. Movie days should be once a year rather than monthly.

We are thrilled at the opportunity to attend this school and the progress our child has made. Having changed schools every couple of years to match the fit of our child's needs as he's grown, I feel confident that he is now at a place where he can attend through graduation and be successful in every aspect while enjoying traditional school community components (sports, yearbook, dances etc.)

We couldn’t be happier! I just wish our daughter had started here sooner. One of the best schools I have ever seen.

I cannot wait to watch my son graduate from Center. I rave about the school to all I know. I am beyond grateful for all that has been done for my son.

Our family recently relocated to Palm Harbor from New York City. In Center Academy, we have found a truly welcoming and caring academic environment for our son. Center Academy's approach diligently focuses on students' individual needs to help promote independent and confident learners. The head of school, the teachers, and the front office are always available to communicate about our son's experience in school.

Everybody in the school from the Director, front office as well as teachers are all committed to help each student reach their full potential.

My grandson started this year at Center Academy. WOW!!! What a WONDERFUL difference this school has made in his life. He went from failing ALL subjects to bringing home his first report card with 4 A's and 2 B's. WAS HE EVER PROUD!!! This school has caring committed teachers who are there because they truly care about teaching and the kids. Thank GOD common core is NO longer the only thing that matters!! My grandson hops out of bed EXCITED to go to school instead of tears and begging to stay home ( because he is sick) all the children here are KIND!!!! I Thank GOD every day for this WONDERFUL school!!!!

Center Academy in Palm Harbor has completely turned our lives around. My son who is extremely intelligent but a "different kind of learner" is finally in the proper element. He has gone from a problem student that most public school teachers just didn't have time for to a straight A young man who has excelled in all facets of his education. Center Academy build self esteem, they encourage children to do their best and excel. I found that public schools for a multitude of reasons tended to reprimand students more than rewarding. My son responds to motivation and reward, because Center Academy recognizes that they have reaped the benefits of having an exceptional young man in their student body. I will be forever thankful for what the school, the staff and especially the director, Suzy Gaudin has done for my family and my child.

My 5th grader is having an awesome first year at Center Academy! I love seeing the smile on his face and watching him saying his many goodbyes to his classmates. What a difference the right environment can make! There were many reasons that I chose to take my son out of Public school, but I will share two reasons; first, common core math was a joke and he lost a previous year of learning in this subject. Second, pulling up to car line after school and finding him in tears too many times to keep count. Center academy has been a blessing for my son and our family. They provide the correct curriculum for each subject. I knew when I enrolled him last spring for the following school year he would have to take 4th grade math again. They teach math the traditional way and unlike last year with common core, he loves math again and making wonderful A's and B's. He is getting a great education here and he is flourishing socially.

My daughter is flourishing at Center Academy. This was this best decision we could have made; to place her at this school. Our family life is so much more stress free. Our daughter is doing well in school and likes attending. We also have confidence that ALL the staff has our daughter's best interest at heart.

This school is honestly one of a kind. It enables students to gain their self-esteem back and capture a zest for learning. The environment is rich with loving hands, not just strictly teaching out of a book. The teachers and the Principal really care. They really do teach the whole child. I am forever grateful that I walked into their doors many years ago. I have no doubt many will walk away, not only with a solid education, but having left a better person.
