My grandson attends Ces on Erlich Rd Tampa. This is the best school ever. He started with this school in kindergarten and is now in third grade. Between the excellent teachers and fantastic principal, he has made progress in leaps and bounds. They also have a wonderful administration staff. My grandson is very happy and does well.

My children attend CES North Tampa School and it is the best thing that has happened to my family. Dr. Oak and Ms. Holly are wonderful. They are in it for all the right reasons. My children struggled in big schools and their social emotional health was declining. They love to go to school now. They have true friends for the first time. I am so thankful for the scholarship and the opportunity for my children to thrive there. I highly recommend if your needs a little extra love and support.
