Private School in Naples, FL
Rhodora J. Donahue Academy of Ave Maria:
The Donahue Academy of Ave Maria is a Private K-12 Classical School in the Catholic Tradition serving Ave Maria and the greater Naples areas of South Florida. At the Donahue Academy we strive to Provide a Classical Education which is structured and integrated, not only the transmission of knowledge but also the integration and synthesis of information. Our curriculum focuses on the acquisition of knowledge through reading by focusing whenever possible on original texts and classics.
Classical Education:
The Donahue Academy of Ave Maria offers a carefully structured curriculum, focusing on the great books, emphasizing reading and language (including Latin) and delivered with a pedagogical emphasis appropriate to the students' developmental abilities. Dorothy Sayers in her important article on classical education, The Lost Tools of Learning, referred to this as "teaching with the grain." The subject matter is structured, sequenced, and repeated over a period of years, growing ever deeper into details and increased depths of synthesis.
History and literature, music and art are studied in a complementary context. Science instruction also follows a similar four-year pattern of biology, earth science, chemistry, and physics. Each iteration of the discipline and subject matter increases in depth and scope as the student advances through our school and is constantly challenged to connect existing information and ideas to new information, insights and challenges.
Dr. Dan Guernsey, Ed.D. - Headmaster:
Dr. Guernsey is a graduate of the Saint Ignatius Institute (a classical great books program) at the Jesuit University of San Francisco where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in English. He holds a Master’s degree in English from U. C. Berkeley, and a Master’s degree in school administration from CSU Fresno.

Miami Springs Montessori
Courses / Programs
Miami Springs Montessori School in Miami Springs, a Miami suburban city in Miami-Dade County, is a safe, loving environment for children offering montessori programs to children from eighteen months to 6 years of age. The Montessori method of teaching is founded on the belief that all young children pass through a sequence of steps to maturity at different rates of growth and in different ways. Growth is individual to each child. Advancement within a child varies from skill to skill. Presented with the proper instruments and direction, a child's curiosity and eagerness to comprehend the world will motivate him / her to move from mastery to one task to another with tenacity seldom seen in adults.
Our teachers are certified Montessori Teachers and we have consolidated the best of many Montessori Programs, the Panamerican Society, AMS, IMS and more. As guides, we follow each child to insure their development is a natural and uplifting experience that they will always remember. Exposure, exposure, exposure is the key to child development.
