Key Biscayne Community School was founded in 1952. It is a MDCPS Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade Learning Center and currently serves over 1000 students. The school is in the Coral Gables Feeder Pattern. The community school offers a variety of classes for children and adults with an After School Child Care Program.

   Located on the island of Key Biscayne, it is eight miles from downtown Miami. The island's warm climate, wealth of business opportunities, close proximity to Miami and small town flavor attract residents from approximately thirty countries.

   It is against this textured backdrop that the Key Biscayne Community School faculty and staff prepare students with various levels of language proficiency, different cultures, and an uneven base of general knowledge for the future.

   The curriculum at Key Biscayne Community School provides a cohesive, focused foundation and direction for the academic achievement and advancement of all students. It meshes two compatible components which emphasize student performance-based learning, both in the classroom and real world: the Dade County Public Schools' Competency Based Curriculum, Core Knowledge and a dual theme focus of business and environment. Our schoolwide integrated curriculum innovations have resulted in our receiving various grants and awards.
