Relocation to Coral Gables Florida

Coral Gables may be more well-known for being “the City Beautiful,” but for families with school-aged children, this sun-kissed South Florida community offers another potent attraction – its schools. Quite a few of those who plan their relocation to Coral Gables, Florida, in fact, do so because they want their children to have access to exceptional educational options that they’d be hard-placed to find elsewhere.

The city, which also serves as the seat of the highly regarded University of Miami, is under the Miami-Date School District, the fourth-largest school system in the United States. The schools in Coral Gables are among the district’s most prestigious, renowned for their academic excellence and pioneering international studies programs. All of the three elementary schools that serve the city, for example – Sunset Elementary, George Washington Carver Elementary and Coral Gables Elementary School – have received the highest ratings from state, national and independent assessment organizations.

Elementary Schools Serving Coral Gables

A National Blue Ribbon School, Sunset Elementary is famous for its International Studies Magnet Program, which, when it was launched in 1986, was the first of its kind in South Florida. A dual language program accredited by the education ministries of France, Germany and Spain, it provides students with access to the curricula and resources of these respective countries, giving them a true international education. If your family’s relocation to Coral Gables, Florida is for a limited duration or if you foresee a future move back to Europe, this program allows for your children’s smooth reintegration into the French, German and Spanish systems.

Located on 5120 SW 72nd St., Sunset Elementary serves an area extending from SW 8th St. to a little beyond SW 88th St. and includes areas of South Miami, South Coral Gables and High Pines. It also offers a Math and Science Gifted Program and a School of Choice Program.

Also a National Blue Ribbon School, Coral Gables Elementary (105 Minorca Avenue) has been an A+ Florida School for ten straight years and also offers a home-based gifted program. As for Carver Elementary (238 Grand Avenue), dubbed Little Carver, the school features early foreign language learning programs in Spanish and Italian and an Italian International Studies program for 3rd to 5th graders.

After completing the International Studies Magnet Program at Sunset Elementary, students can then proceed to the George Washington Carver Middle School (4901 Lincoln Drive), another National Blue Ribbon School, which also features an International Baccalaureate Preparation Program.
