The Cushman School is a lively and inclusive learning community that empowers students to think critically, creatively, and independently through character and leadership development. Our mission is to prepare students to have a lifelong love of learning with a positive approach to life and become engaged leaders who are Innovators of Change. The Cushman School takes a personalized approach to educating each student to ensure they reach their fullest potential. Following Dr. Cushman’s philosophy, our faculty and administration are committed to identifying and understanding the unique “gifts” within each child and planning age-appropriate educational journeys to bring students’ talents to fruition. Small student-to-teacher ratios and ample teacher assistance allow for individualized instruction and meaningful connections. We believe that great education is built in partnership with families and the broader community, fostering every student’s intellectual, creative, social-emotional, physical, and spiritual growth. This personalized approach, extending beyond students to their families, creates the culture of friendship, camaraderie, and warmth that differentiates our school environment. Cushman is much more than academics. It is an experiential journey that shapes confident, compassionate leaders for the future.

FAQ
Beyond the Classroom: Developing Innovators of Change
“Early into our search, my husband and I realized that even though Miami was a large city, it was hard to find the educational environment that felt right to us… until we found Cushman. It was a unique oasis hidden among the bustling metropolis. The atmosphere, the teachers, the overall environment were just so different than any other place I’d been. It was the culture; The children and faculty were visibly happy.”
– Mrs. Sara Colombo, Miami Philanthropist, Business Owner, Board Chair
