I recently transitioned my daughter over to the Canterbury School of Florida from public/ fundamental school here in Florida and couldn't be happier. Her middle school transition was seamless, and everyone from students to teachers to administrative staff has been nothing more than friendly and supportive. The wide range of courses/clubs/sports offered, small class sizes and teachers that love to teach makes this school stand out from the rest. Within the past 5 months, she has been presented with opportunities that have inspired and motivated her. The Canterbury community is one that focuses on kindness and family and my daughter is happy and feels this belonging every day. Our transition to Canterbury was everything and more. This school deserves 5 + stars rating.

We are currently in our 6th year at Canterbury. The character education program at CSF is what I love the most! My kids are excelling in math, reading, science, art and music but everyday they focus on kindness, love, compassion and what it takes to be a caring individual in the world around them.

At Canterbury my daughter is overcoming her shyness, excelling in math, and learning to be the best version of herself. We are so fortunate to have found a school community that is incredibly accepting of who she is, but refuses to accept less than her best.

We looked at many private schools and were most impressed with the atmosphere at Canterbury. We enrolled our daughter and have found an academically rich environment that is integrated with enrichment programs. In addition, the focus on character building creates an atmosphere where good behavior is the norm. We made the right choice; our daughter is very happy.
