Mangrove School has been a true blessing for both our daughter and us as parents. The stress-free learning environment, combined with close connections to nature, has provided a healing and enriching experience for our daughter. We’ve shared so many joyful moments at the school, and the camping trips stand out as some of the most memorable experiences for our family! We cannot say enough about Ms. Erin, our daughter’s teacher. She is not only a phenomenal educator but also a wonderful mother, and we deeply appreciate all that she has done. Her dedication and warmth have made a lasting impact on our daughter’s growth and happiness. Chiroli family

I want to express the depth of my gratitude for this school and for Erin Melia and all the wonderful teachers. My daughter and I moved to Sarasota 9 years ago when my daughter was 9. From the time of our visit we both knew this was for us. She attended from 4th-8th grade. This school embodied the natural rhythm of what it means to support a child in all ways. My daughter always looked forward to Mondays, wanted to go to school, enjoyed every single school function, loved that I got to be a parent volunteer and felt embraced by the community. The school understands the value of enabling learning through many means; most days learning felt like playing or doing something new to my daughter. There was no stress placed on her about learning, no pressure, ever only caring, creative support...and now, just graduated high-school, she is fully empowered with the skills needed to take on her life, she praises the wholesome foundation given to her by Mangrove. My deepest gratitude to Mangrove üíú
