Gulf Coast Charter Academy South

This school is not good with kids who have adhd, autism, or have been bullied. they dont have the resources or understanding, principal even told me. my son was physically assaulted by a couple of middle schoolers (he was in 1st grade) on the bus, I went and told the principal right away none of those kids were punished or taken off the bus, they didnt care, its heartbreaking what my son went through, he started to hate school and hate himself. They literally saw him as a burden, calling me every chance they can to come pick him up due to his meltdowns (which is illegal, I come to find out) they saw him as evil and did not nor try to educate themselves on autism or try to really help him beside having him see a guidance counselor. My son is high functioning and can talk walk and is very smart, since putting him in public school, he started to love school again, the school actually takes the time to learn about him and see what he likes and what he doesn’t, he has not had an incident at all now, they love him and are so sweet to him. A completely different experience. And also, they are a bit behind in math and reading. Now my daughter is having a hard time trying to play catch-up with public school for things that she should’ve learned while she was at Gulf Coast charter for her grade.

I just woke up to start my day off, and excited to go to my daughters new school. I have a appointment at 9 am with the staff members today. I am going in down points, because of preconceive planning by malicious presents. I have been though this with the them before, but now I have to not only deal with middle school “ all over again“, but with a middle schooler. Okay, if I was your dad you would be nervous also, I can still sing the theme song to The ThunderCats. 😅 and she compares me to an age, that makes me feel I should be able to tell stories of Nikola Tesla! 🤦🏾‍♂️. Well with me luck, and I promise to update as soon as possible. Details to come……..

Fantastic STEM based school and creative, positive learning environment for kids to flourish! Kids had a BLAST at Kennedy Space Center this past year!

my daughter has been really happy here. I highly recommend this school. It's a shame we have to go I want to thank all the teachers and school staff in general because they do a great job. If I could give more stars I would gladly do it. They have an amazing summer program where the kids have so much fun. Without a doubt, this school has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. mr wamback and mrs roberts are amazing. Thank you soo much

This is a great school in Naples area. The very important character I noticed about this school is the way the teachers and staff care about the children studying there. They carry high standards in teaching and treating the children and the parents. There are many occasions they demonstrated their values and one example is how they handled the COVID 19 pandemic - standing outside in the sun for hours getting the children safely in and out, checking their temperatures, etc.

My children felt very comfortable with their teachers and they talk high about them at our homes. My interactions with staff was always pleasing.

I am so thankful that my family is able to be apart of this school! It is full of very dedicated teachers and staff who are dedicated to present material in numerous ways and make learning fun. The schools charter is focused on STEAM which is very apparent in every classroom and hallway. The staff takes time to really get to know the student as a person and build relationships with the families. Families are able to be involved with different school wide events (on a noncovid year). There are a lot of clubs and extra curricular activities and sports for the students to participate in. Students also have the opportunity to have music, art, stem tech lab, Spanish and PE every week. Students in K-3 do not have any homework so they have time to be with their families. Aftercare, tutoring and bus services are available for those who need it. I highly recommend to call for a tour to see this amazing school for yourself!

The teachers and support staff are wonderful! They truly care about the kids! I love the A-rated stem education my kids receive there! The field trips and hands-on activities enhance the curriculum! I highly recommend this school!
