Welcome to Doral Academy Elementary! I am honored to be the principal of a school where genuine love for children, high expectations, and character building are a priority. Here at Doral Academy, teaching and learning is focused on meeting and exceeding the Florida State Standards for every child. Our differentiated instructional approach provides a framework to challenge advanced students and support those who are struggling, while creating a solid classroom experience for students learning at grade level. Our top priority is providing the best education possible in a nurturing environment for our children.I want to congratulate and thank all the stakeholders of our school for your contributions to last year’s outcomes in our standardized assessments. Our impressive academic accomplishments are a mirror reflection of the hard work and dedication of a very fine staff and an extremely dedicated team of educators. Parental involvement is a great ingredient to our recipe as well. We consider parents to be our absolute partners and we welcome volunteers in our classrooms, activities and programs. I encourage your active support and participation as we strive to provide a high quality education for all of our students. I invite you to explore our website to stay abreast about upcoming events.Warm Regards,Ms. Cuesta
