Florida Intercultural Academy
This is a great school! My children have grown in so many ways from the teachers and staff there. My daughter has had the most opportunities to take different classes Student council, the music program is great! The teachers seem to really care about the students as they keep in contact with me if my son seems to be falling behind in a subject, they make me aware quickly and not let him fall behind. I appreciate the teachers very much!
