Corbett Preparatory School of IDS, Tampa | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I truly believe that every child deserves a Corbett Prep education. The teachers are passionate about what they do, inventive, and the emphasis is on each and every child. My kids have gone to CP since pre-k 4 and I can’t imagine there is a school that can challenge and understand my kids like the teachers and administration at this school do.
I found the school by reaching out to a USF education professor I knew who had her colleagues all email me their opinions about local schools. I was looking for a school that would follow best practices, have a focus on values and be able to individualize education for my child. Every professor who contacted me said that I should look at Corbett Prep (which was called Independent Day School at that time). Many said that they wished their child had gone there or that they had.
My own Mom put it best when she got involved as a Grandparent at the school. She said that the school “has a reason for everything that it does.” That’s totally it, as the school bases its practices on the latest brain-based research. There is a book available on Amazon about the school which gives a good look into the philosophy which I recommend: It’s All About Kids: Every Child Deserves a Teacher of the Year.

Beyond awesome! My daughter is in 3rd grade and has had the benefit of a Corbett Prep Education since Pre K3. She is energized to go to school every day and truly enjoys the multiple options in learning. Students are well rounded and confident children as a result of the core classes and specials; each closely working together. Every member of the Faculty gives 110% and truly cares about each student. It is truly a Family at Corbett Prep…the most amazing Family you could ever ask for!

We were there for my sons 3 on 3 tournament from the Bob Sierra YMCA Northdale, hosted by Corbett Preparatory School directed by Carymen Samuels. Very well organized, even had fruits for the players at N/C it was very clean and we all had a fun time. The school grounds are very well maintained and set on the water simply gorgeous the serenity is great. Very good place for teaching children.
