Miami Mom Collective, Miami’s Premier Parenting Resource, is thrilled to announce our 2025-2026 Miami Private Schools Guide. This guide features the best private schools in Miami and the surrounding areas.
There’s a lot to consider when it comes time to choosing a school for your child. Every child possesses unique gifts and abilities, and as parents we want them to be both challenged and nurtured along their academic journey. In Miami there are many, many educational options available to every family.
In this guide, we are proud to feature Miami private schools throughout Miami-Dade.
Whether you’re a longtime local or a new arrival, we hope this will be a one-stop resource for you as you seek out the school best suited for your elementary, middle, or high school student.

Miami Mom Collective understands that every family has unique needs and desires when it comes to choosing the best option for your children. We encourage parents to make decisions that are best for their families. We also want to remind parents to do their due diligence when looking for safe programs for their children.
At The Rooted Schoolhouse, we believe that “Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.” Inspired by the philosophy of Charlotte Mason, we view our K-8 students not as vessels to be filled, but as persons to be respected. Our days are guided by the belief that a child’s relationship with God, nature, and their community is the truest foundation for a life well-lived.
