THE ISLAND SCHOOL

THE ISLAND SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the LEE school district, located in BOCA GRANDE, FL with about 60 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 9 teachers, THE ISLAND SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

THE ISLAND SCHOOL, located in the historic village of Boca Grande, Florida, is a private, independent school serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. Established with a commitment to academic excellence and character development, the school prides itself on a rigorous curriculum that balances traditional core subjects with innovative, hands-on learning experiences. By leveraging its unique island setting, the school integrates the local environment into its educational model, fostering a deep appreciation for nature and community involvement among its small, close-knit student body.

At the heart of THE ISLAND SCHOOL’s philosophy is a focus on individualized attention, made possible by low student-to-teacher ratios and a supportive, family-oriented atmosphere. The institution emphasizes not only intellectual growth but also the social and emotional well-being of its students, aiming to cultivate confident, curious, and responsible lifelong learners. Through partnerships with local organizations and an emphasis on civic engagement, THE ISLAND SCHOOL serves as a cornerstone of the Boca Grande community, preparing its students for success in both future academic endeavors and as contributing members of society.
