Christian school K-12 in Miami specializing in learning differences
CRISDA Christian Academy in Miami serves students in kindergarten through 12th grade, including those with learning differences, dyslexia, language-based learning disabilities, and ADD/ADHD. The school uses the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum, which allows each student to progress at their own pace based on their individual English, reading, and math levels. A diagnostic test is administered to identify each student's exact academic level, enabling them to advance once learning gaps are filled—rather than being locked into a traditional grade level.
The academy maintains small class sizes (average 15 students) with 90% of faculty holding advanced degrees, creating an environment suited to individualized instruction. CRISDA offers specialized support for students with learning differences and ADHD, along with arts and music programs including a Music Production Program. The school operates on a no-homework concept and offers a full school-year option for families who need extended programming.
CRISDA is approved for multiple scholarship programs including McKay, SUFS, Gardiner, Family Empowerment, and Hope scholarships—making specialized education more accessible. The school enrolls approximately 109 students and maintains a 50% acceptance rate.
