" Los ninos son como el cemento fresco, cualquier cosa que caiga sobre ellos deja una huella"
Haim Ginott
SouthPoint Academy believes in the uniqueness of each child, our teachers place great emphasis on the needs and learning styles of each individual child so they can achieve their maximum potential. Our teachers understand each student's area of intelligence and continuously encourage their student to think creatively and to strive for their personal best.
In SouthPoint Academy we have currently two divisions, the Pre-School from 2 months to 4 years (VPK) the Voluntary Pre-Kindergaten and the Elementary from Kindergarten to 5 Grade.
Our students are provided with a supportive and safe environment where they will learn and discover through hands-on activities and explorations. Students and community events and field trips that enhance their learning process.
Florida has adopted new standards, called Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics, which will impact the way children are taught, how they learn, and how they will be assessed. Florida’s schools will be fully integrated with these standards by school year 2018-2019. By understanding these standards now, students, teachers, and parents, can get a head start on paving the road to success.
