Caring and supportive staff that is concerned and responsive to my child’s needs
Submitted by parent on January 28, 2025

This is our first year back into a formal learning environment after homeschooling because of a traumatic public school experience. The folks at this school made my son's transition back into a classroom so easy and seamless. He gets the academic and social-emotional support he needs to be successful in school. The workload for my son is just right and he's found it easy to make friends. My only complaint is the school doesn't do much to include parents and the communication from school to home isn't very informative as it relates to my child's education.

This school and its staff are amazing. My son has had the best experience at Center Academy. He is excelling in his school work and making great friends. I would recommend this school to any parent whose child needs a place to fit in socially and receive more support from teachers. His confidence and outlook on school has improved so much since he has been a student here.

My son absolutely loves this school! And so do we - this is a very safe environment with a small setting to ensure no student is left behind or held back by others.

Center Academy-Riverview has been life changing for our daughter. Before enrolled at CAP, she was very unmotivated at school and as a child with high functioning autism, her social skills were severely limited to the point we felt desperate. There were major academic challenges as well. In her first year at CAP, there is a complete turnaround in both areas. It's been amazing and we're so appreciative of the focus the entire staff has given to helping our child. The teacher-parent communication is excellent and we're so thankful for everything this school has done for our daughter to overcome major challenges.

This school has changed our son’s life! We moved from Virginia where the schools were amazing and our son was happy and thriving. When we came to Florida, we were having a hard time adapting to public schools here. Our son has high functioning autism and was having issues focusing. We decided we had to get him out of the school he was in when his 3rd grade teacher told me she didn’t believe he was capable of graduating high school. Our son is smart….incredibly smart and for his teacher to not bother to get to know him at all blew my mind. They were just going to push him from grade to grade, being content with the fact that he was a C/D student and that’s all he’d ever be. I was NOT ok with that, as i knew he was so much more. But more importantly- we needed him to know that he was so much more than that. Then we happened upon Center Academy. This is our 4th year there and our son is flourishing. His test scores just keep improving, he’s always on the Honor Roll….but most importantly- he’s happy, loves going to school, he’s motivated, and he’s proud of himself. That in itself is priceless and worth more than any letter grade. The staff genuinely cares about their students. The students’ success is their success. And the principle…..he is amazing. He’s a mentor, a positive role model, and an all around wonderful human being.

We love this school and all of the staff!!Everyone is so supportive and really cares about the success of each student. They support each child's learning style and assignments are broken down in manageable daily chunks so they are not overwhelmed. Plus the communication & tools available to me as the parent are phenomenal and always current! It's not just the academics - they treat students with respect and enable them to make decisions on their own. They also encourage students to be mentors and lead by example.Enrolling in CA-Riverview has been the greatest thing for our child! He's motivated to do his best each day and encouraged to give his full efforts. It's completely changed our home life for the better too!

I absolutely love this school, from the headmaster Mr. Stone, to the teaching staff, to the precious office staff. Everyone is kind and nurturing to my son with learning differences, to even me. I fell in love with the school at our first visit and in my son’s second year here currently, love it even more. There is every effort to accommodate learning differences and no tolerance to bullying or even unkindness. This is just such a great school. Feeling so blessed to have found it. Highly recommend!

My child has had an excellent experience at Center Academy. She has learned a lot and her self confidence has also increased.

Overall we are very pleased with our experience with Center Academy-Riverview. My son is very happy and has learned so much. I wish I would've placed him at this school when we moved to Florida 3 years ago as I feel his previous school lacked on teaching abilities. His confidence level is increased as well as his learning abilities.

Bottom Line Up Front. Center Academy is the best school my son has attended. The staff at Center Academy understands how children on the spectrum learn and tailor their curriculum to fit the learning style of that child. Since attending Center Academy, our son has flourished at the academic level. Not only has all of his grades improved, his self-confidence has improved as well. From the principal to the teachers, the entire staff is involved in the student's leaning and success. Thank you Center Academy for everything you provide to our son.

Center Academy by far exceeds my expectations of what I had hoped for. The entire staff and faculty are professional and vocationally vested in their students’ education. If you are searching for a place where your child is more than just a statistic, Center Academy is the place.

Our son has been attending Center Academy in Riverview for 3 years. The faculty and staff have been amazingly supportive and provide lots individual attention. Students' special needs are acknowledged and accommodated. Our son looks forward to going to school, and has developed a great circle of friends at Center Academy. We are grateful to have found this school when we did.

I can not say enough good things about Center Academy. We, like a lot of the families of children with disabilities, were searching for an alternative to public school for our daughter when we found them. For years she struggled with fitting in socially and not being understood which in turn affected her academically. She did have a handful of some amazing teachers along the way, but the system as whole was not equipped for her educational and social success. Center Academy changed all of that. They treated my daughter like she was no different than anyone else and gave her back her confidence. They have small classroom sizes which gives them the ability to help students who may be struggling or need more individualized instruction. They are extremely good at keeping the parents informed and included along the way as well. The entire atmosphere of the school is one of patience and understanding, and is built for success. We only wish we had found them sooner.The director, the teachers, and the amazing staff were a blessing to us. We are forever grateful to them for the huge role they played in our daughter’s life.

So sad that my daughter's new school is being refused her records. This could affect her grade level placement- shameful

This is our first year at Center Academy. Very please with the progress my child is making.

I wish we had found this school for our son years ago. It is a wonderful school with a very strong leader, Mr. Stone. The changes I've seen in my son since he started here are remarkable. For the first time, he is motivated to learn and shows real interest in the material. Their method of using desk cubicles for the kids is so smart! My son says it helps him stay focused as he is not distracted by other things going on in the classroom. He is also finally in a school environment where he feels safe, comfortable, and welcome. Bullying is not tolerated. Instead, the kids receive positive reinforcement and are rewarded for their efforts. Highly recommend!

I would give it 5 stars but I think it is important to have a "not helpful" or "thumbs down" after reviews. Like one lady didn't like car line. Really?
