Helping Your Child Bee All They Can Bee
At Centner Academy, we believe that students learn best when using their minds to solve problems, create solutions, and collaborate with peers to make the world a better place.
We believe that every student, every teacher, every parent, and every leader has responsibility on this planet to pursue learning and growth in every activity of our lives.
Because our whole community is dedicated to being better for our world, we love learning, embrace mistakes as opportunities to grow, and challenge ourselves to be both loving and candid in our relationships with one another.
Regener8 - Our Farm!
Centner Academy shares a close alignment with Regener8 Farm and Retreat, a 34-acre agriculture and retreat property owned by David and Leila Centner. Located in South Miami only 35 minutes from the school, Regener8 will provide farm-to-cafeteria regeneratively- and hydroponically-grown nutrition, while weaving in a wide breadth of curricula encompassing science, entrepreneurship, and nutrition. There’s simply nothing like this in America!
Preschool, Elementary,
Middle & High School
At Centner Academy, learning is authentic, complex, and intellectually engaging. Students do real work as authors, artists, inventors, explorers, athletes, and mathematicians. Giving students choice, autonomy, and high expectations for growth, we harness intrinsic motivation as the engine for academic excellence. Our academics are fueled by a strong foundation and emphasis on mindfulness and emotional intelligence.
Through an interdisciplinary and inquiry-based program, students discover and master foundational skills in academic disciplines while learning to grapple with the unknown, embrace multiple perspectives, and create innovative solutions.
Students develop social and emotional skills that promote self-confidence, emotional intelligence, positive communication, and collaboration.
Our students are empowered to be themselves, to embrace learning fully and to contribute to the community as stewards and changemakers. We believe empathetic citizens change the world.
