Mangrove School of Sarasota fosters a capacity for self-knowledge that is grounded in a lifelong love of learning. Our inspiring, comprehensive learning environments, trained teachers, and committed, active parents and volunteers, awaken the students’ innate aptitude to be well-versed in practical, artistic, social, and academic skills.
Recognizing each individual as a unique expression of body, mind and spirit, we seek to engage students through a developmentally appropriate curriculum designed to strengthen their intellectual, emotional, and physical abilities, so they may meet new opportunities in a creative and responsible manner.
