Our family moved to Jacksonville 2 years ago and finding a good school for our 10-year-old daughter was very important. I am so happy with our choice of Martin J. Gottlieb Day School. My daughter enrolled in Martin J. Gottlieb Day School in 5th grade and received a warm welcome from students and teachers alike. I am impressed with the quality of the education curriculum in every subject, teachers are very knowledgeable, able to make their subjects interesting and engaging and available to give their attention to child's individual needs. I am equally impressed with social environment in the school and each classroom, kids learn from early age to be kind, respectful and supportive of one another. My daughter is looking forward to going to school every day and I feel this is a result of hard work of amazing faculty and staff who collaborate with parents to make this the best educational experience for our children. I highly recommend Martin J. Gottlieb Day School to any family new to the area.

The moment you walk through the doors you will feel the love, respect, and professionalism from all of the faculty and staff. You will be greeted with smiling and happy students who truly think of school as a home away from home. Martin J. Gottlieb Day School focuses on teaching the whole child, which includes not only stellar academics but just as high of a focus on the student's social and emotional learning. Having been a student from preschool through 8th grade at the school, I can guarantee firsthand our student's readiness for high school and beyond. There is no other institution I would trust with my children, which is why both of my children attend the school and will continue to do so throughout their schooling career. Martin J. Gottlieb Day School is like no other and I encourage anyone interested to schedule a tour of our phenomenal campus.
