The best schools to put your kids into if you live in Brickell

Brickell Schools

Families from all over move to Miami, and the neighborhood of Brickell specifically, for many different reasons. The location to the beach is one of the major attractions, as you can walk to the white sandy beaches from almost anywhere in the city. The upscale real estate adds to the luxurious feel of living in this affluent area, and the abundance of restaurants, both casual and formal, shopping venues, and annual events means there is always something for the whole family to do in Brickell. Families with young kids often ask about the schools in the area and which ones are the best for their kids. Whether you are looking for public or private, elementary, middle or high, Brickell has many options to ensure the local kids get the best education possible.

Public Schools

Southside Elementary School is a highly rated Elementary school located just minutes from the beach and a ten-minute walk from luxurious, waterfront condominiums. For middle school, families have great things to say about Citrus Grove Middle, and Miami Senior High, built in 1928, has a rich history and is a staple in the Miami community.

These schools, along with others in the area, have deep roots in the community and provide local kids with a strong educational foundation. Some students stay around and attend community colleges after graduation like Miami Dade College, while others head to nearby public universities such as Florida Atlantic University or the University of West Florida. Larger schools, such as FSU, UCF and UF are a few hours north, but are popular options for Miami high school grads.

Private Schools

Many families in the Brickell area choose to send their children to private schools, and there are plenty in the area. Some are faith based, such as Key Point Christian Academy, which is located right in the heart of the city. Ranging from early childhood to middle school, this private school is a popular choice for Brickell families. David Posnack Jewish Day School and Palmer Trinity aren’t located right inside of Brickell city lines, but are close enough that many families in the area choose these options for their children. There are Montessori schools and secular private school options as well. Tuitions vary by the school, but parents can expect to pay around $12,000 a year for elementary and $14,000 for high school.

 After graduation, the University of Miami, a private, research college, is a popular choice.

Having solid school choices is a big deal when parents make the decision to move to Brickell. Thankfully, Brickell residents have a wide variety of options when it comes to highly ranked schools for their kids.
