The Cushman School Welcomes You

At the Cushman School, every child is gifted. It is the job of our teachers to find that special gift. We celebrate and respect the individuality and differences of each child. We strengthen their minds and bodies and nurture their sensitivities.

Founded by a true visionary, The Cushman School reflects an 85 year old pledge made by Dr. Laura Cushman to teach children to embrace the virtues of industry, courtesy, responsibility and scholarship. The Cushman student is encouraged and expected to work towards personalized goals, be well-mannered, respectful, accept responsibility, grow in character and develop academically. We believe in the importance of building a moral community in which each child makes a valuable contribution.

Our innovative curricula, which draws from some of the most progressive and innovative thinkers of our time, ensure that Cushman students exceed both academically and socially.

Our campus is located in the heart of Greater Miami and is available to children from all areas of Miami-Dade County. Cushman Hall is an historic site.
