K-8 Education

In a K-8 educational setting, children can remain “young” and preserve the sacredness of childhood for the entire period of childhood. Students grow from being the youngest at our Miami private elementary school to taking on leadership roles as the oldest, giving them an opportunity to serve as role models and thrive with a vibrant sense of community. The result is greater confidence, self-esteem and a sense of belonging, which translates into stronger academic performance at a developmentally appropriate pace. Read More >

Lower School

Through a solid academic curriculum, lower school students at Conchita Espinosa Academy (CEA) acquire the necessary skills and knowledge allowing them to grow. Our curriculum encompasses more than the standard format of reading, language arts, math, social studies, and science.

Upper School

Upper school is the culmination of the eleven-year process students experience at CEA. Our upper school is uniquely designed to meet the challenges of the early teen years. Students are provided the necessary continuity, structure, and security required for a successful transition from childhood to adolescence.

Education for Life

Education at CEA extends beyond traditional schooling, creating well-rounded, whole individuals. Students learn to think and develop compassion, a sense of duty, self-awareness, and pride in themselves and their community.

The Arts

Human beings need creativity to feel fulfilled. Participation in the arts allows individuals to approach tasks from various perspectives and encourages students to take risks, “think outside the box,” and cultivate skills that transcend sectors.

Mastery Program

Lessons learned in mastery programs transfer to all other areas of learning. When you learn and master any new skill, you reinforce and enhance the connections you already have.

Character Education

Throughout the school day, character education takes place, and students are engaged in an environment that fosters the development of self-discipline, respect for self and other, and empathy.
