We visited all the schools in Sarasota and Manatee County before we choose Ave Maria Prep School. We did our due diligence. As far as catering to children who learn differently they are head and shoulders above the competition. The entire staff is entirely dedicated. Don't be fooled by the name. It's not a Catholic school. Our children are Jewish, and they are welcome and fit in better they have anywhere else.

We came from NJ and found the right fit for both of our children. The staff are talented but more importantly, genuinely caring. They truly live it with many of the staff living on campus. My children have had trouble fitting, in the past, but not here. We have spent several hundred thousand dollars on lawsuits, therapists, expert reports, private schools, and were lucky to find this one finally. I wish all educators cared this much. Thank you for everything!

My two boys went to this school, and we love it. The staff is such caring and loving teachers.

This school and its excellent staff should be in the dictionary under the word, "dedication." They never give up on a child. Mr. Lipinski in one of their team who stands out. They are truly deserving of the whole community's support and recognition.
