"As I look back at my sons first year of school, VPk, I am overwhelmed with the knowledge he has learned. My 4 year old is making sure he is a Risk Taker when trying things for the first time, being principled and caring, and learning how things relate to his own body by the choices he makes and how that personally effects him. The principle is awesome! His teacher was AMAZING. Every Friday you receive a weekly review of what the children has learned. Each child also has a daily agenda to communicate from teacher to parent. I am so thrilled and honor to have my child attending Wakeland !"

"We chose to bypass our zoned school, which was A rated, to come to Wakeland. It is also at least twice the drive each way....and we love it. If you want an example of a school being better than their rating look no further than Wakeland. Dr. Fradley is amazing, the staff attentive, caring and involved. The kids are full of energy, polite and love being there. Other schools score better on the FCAT, but I doubt the teaching that is going on surpasses Wakeland. Let's face it some schools score better due to demographics, not the quality of education. We also love the diversity of the student body and the global approach to the material. And oh yeah, the fact it is an IB school means the teachers have more training and live up to a higher standard than most other schools."

"I cannot say enough about this school.The principal and entire staff are 110% committed to the kids. My children love being there and they are growing and becoming internationally minded young people, while being constantly challenged in academics."
