FROM THE CUSHMAN COMMUNITY
“We love the environment at Cushman, you can tell it’s different than other schools the first time you attend an event on campus. Everyone is so knowledgeable about Childhood Development. We feel like the whole Cushman community is working together to help our son reach his potential and grow up to be a happy, well rounded individual.”
“The Cushman School is a place where not only the student, but the parents, will find a sense of belonging. From the outstanding staff, to the exceptional education, every part of the school provides an amazing high school experience. The teachers are always there to provide the help and encouragement needed and assist the students to achieve their goals. The college preparation and assistance from the college counselor is something that you cannot find at any other school. The school offers a very supportive environment for all students.”
“As a Cushman student for 12 years and daughter of Cushman Alum I had the privilege to watch Cushman grow in facilities, student body and the overall enforcement of the “Cushman Philosophy”. Without Cushman’s desire for student excellence I wouldn’t have been able to be accepted and committed to my dream school Boston College. Not only did Cushman’s support allow for my academic success but Cushman’s love shaped my character forever as I am devoted to making a positive change in any community I am placed in. I am very grateful to have a second family like Cushman because they helped me every step of the way, led me to find my passions and accommodated my individual needs as they understand that every person is a different person and that is what makes us equal.”
Lucy Ingraham, Class of 2024
“Our Family moved to Miami from New York. We had heard wonderful things about The Cushman School and we considered having our child enrolled at Cushman. This was the best decision we ever made. The personalized education, faculty’s ability to engage with students both in person and virtually ensures the student an academic foundation, and leadership skills. We are blessed to be a part of the Cushman family!”
“As I finish my high school career, I could not be more grateful to Cushman and all it has done for me. The care and support I found in this community, after moving from Brazil as a junior, was beyond the expected. I will be forever thankful for the staff, teachers, and my wonderful college counselors. I am sure that without their utmost care and availability senior year would’ve been an even greater challenge than it was. Thank you!”
Beatriz Menezes, Class of 2024
“Highly recommend for all kinds of students! Too many high schools stress competition and overachievement to the detriment of creating a wholesome community in which students can learn. This combination can be discouraging to some students and teaches others that their humanity is less important than creating a “resume” of achievements. If student well-being and personal relationships are something you value in addition to academic excellence, then Cushman is the best high school in Miami for your teen.”
“You won’t find better teachers than the ones at Cushman. The faculty is what truly separates the Cushman experience from any other. Teachers will be there for you for anything you need, from helping you prepare to tests, to helping you through a hard time. They are enthusiastic to lend a helping hand or to tell you a funny joke. I couldn’t have asked for better teachers. The college counseling experience is hands-on and because of the help I received I was able to finish my applications in a short time and get into every college I applied to.”
Linden Schweiger, Class of 2024
“My son is now thriving in college due to the supportive, personalized education he received at Cushman. The faculty’s ability to engage students both in-person and virtually ensures that students everywhere can receive an excellent academic foundation and be challenged to look at the world around them via learning experiences like the SAM programming.”
