Pinecrest Preparatory Middle High

Pinecrest Preparatory Middle Charter School was founded and opened in 2003. Until this year, it has been comprised of two locations: Bird Road Campus located at 14301 SW 42nd Street, Miami, Florida 33175 and South Campus located at 15130 SW 80th Street, Miami, Florida 33193.

During the 2008 - 2009 school year, Pinecrest Preparatory High Charter School opened its doors under the "NESTing" model (Nurturing Environment for Students and Teachers) with Doral Academy Charter High School located in Doral, Florida.In order to foster a seamless transition from middle school to high school, they now share a centralized campus.

Charter schools are public schools that operate under a performance contract, or a "charter" which frees them from many regulations created for traditional public schools while holding them accountable for academic and financial results. The charter contract between the charter school governing board and the sponsor details the school's mission, program, goals, students served, methods of assessment and ways to measure success.

As you are part of a charter school family, we want to let you know that from time to time we will provide information to families regarding school choice and related advocacy matters. We hope to keep you informed on all issues affecting your child's school and their education.

In partnership with the State's Charter School Alliance and other education/school choice advocacy organizations we provide you with information on the latest developments affecting education and public charter schools relevant to our school and your child.This information may be sent to you directly or may come home with your child.

Academica is one of the nation's longest-serving and most successful charter school service and support organizations. The company was founded in 1999 on the principle that each charter school is a unique educational environment governed by an independent Board of Directors that best knows the right path for its school, and Academica's mission is to facilitate that Governing Board's vision.

The concept of the Educational Excellence School Advisory Councils (EESAC) was first written into Florida state law in 1991 as part of the Blueprint 2000 plan for educational reform and accountability. In 1991, School Advisory Councils (SACs) were entrusted with assisting in the development of the School Improvement Plan.
