We are proud of the academic and personal achievements of our students, faculty, staff, and administration. It is because of the accomplishments of our Cushman family that we can share the accreditations that are listed below.

The Cushman School is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools, the Florida Council of Independent Schools, Cognia, and is a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence.

Cushman holds memberships in the National Association of Independent Schools, the Southern Association of Independent Schools, the National Association of Education of Young Children, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, the Association of Supervision and Curriculum Development, the National Council of Teachers of English, the National Council of Teachers in Mathematics, the National Council of Teachers of Science, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, the Council for Religion in Schools, and the School Scholarship Service.

The Cushman Upper School is also affiliated with the National Junior Honor Society, the National Honor Society and the National Association of Student Councils.

“The school has a universally understood and appreciated Mission and Philosophy. Unlike many schools, Cushman’s mission and philosophy are distinct, and few schools have such a universal understanding of their mission and philosophy. There are many schools that try to be everything for everybody, and it is a hard goal to accomplish. The Cushman School clearly does just that.”
