Admission Philosophy
Miami Shores Presbyterian Church School sets high standards for admission. In addition to strong academic credentials, the school seeks students with high ideals and values, those who will be motivated to fulfill their potential, and those students willing and able to participate enthusiastically in its programs. The Admission Team evaluates applicants entering our preschool using the Brigance Early Childhood Screen III and kindergarten through fifth grade using the NWEA MAP survey assessment in both reading and mathematics, as well as an interview process. This screening process reinforces our philosophy by providing a constant assessment tool to provide evidence of potential success in our program.

Other information
We accept the Family Empowerment Scholarship as well as Gardner for students with unique abilities. We want to make clear that a parentally placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that the child would receive if enrolled in a public school under the IDEA. The IDEA does not apply to private schools. We are happy to have a conversation with you about the accommodations that your child may need and be entitled to at our school.
For those living in Miami Shores and the surrounding communities, our Preschool represents the first stage of a child’s education. We are known for our loving and nurturing environment, our academics, and our highly skilled professionals.
