Shands School was just what our son needed. He received very small group instruction and tailored curriculum that emphasized his strengths in a supportive environment that encouraged him to become a leader. Balancing classroom learning with experiences, creative programs, community involvement, and physical activity made days at Shands School engaging and enriching. Thank you Liz, Synthia, Olivia, and all of the wonderful, caring parents who have made Shands the ideal choice for our family.

​Liz was always patient and persevering with Meghan. She saw beyond Meghan’s “symptoms” and recognized a bright little girl in need of enhancing some neurological connections.

When we met with the Director of Shands, we immediately knew she understood our child and had genuine concern for not only Will’s academic success, but also his success in life.

During the pandemic it became quite apparent the learning gaps our son had were continuing to grow. Even with the public school’s interventions with his IEP giving him small group time it, just wasn’t enough for him to fill the areas missing. Our son always enjoyed school but he never came home discussing what he was learning and now he does! [He] always looks forward to school. Already being a proponent of whole child learning, Shands has been a great fit. The emphasis on outdoor time, healthy whole foods, as well as other nature based learning has helped our son continue with the values we set at home.
