CES Academy of Tampa

My son has been attending the school for 2 years and I am so thankful to find a school that not only cares but meets his academic needs. Public school was not helping and due to my son being a non verbal Autistic all I heard was discouragement. However since being in CES I see my son coming home happy and speaking more to me. If your looking for a school that is attentive to your child needs, this is the school for you

My grand daughters love their school! One is a 5th grader (4yr student) and the other is 1st grade. 2yr student) The amazing experience begins at the front door with welcoming smiles! The teachers are the best around and the front office Ms Holly ties it all together! Dr Oaks is patient and understanding! She goes above and beyond for her students and families! I've never been to a school where I've felt so welcome, valued, like family! This is what you get with CES Academy! Happy, flourishing children and a feeling of family! But the squeals of excitement when my girls see the school in the morning, that tells me Ive made the right school choice for them! I recommend this school to everyone I meet!

Amazing school for children on the ASD Spectrum and children with Special Needs. Ever since my Son became a Student here, we have noted a tremendous positive improvement and success and much of that we attribute to the School, its Teachers and Staff

Fantastic school and leadership! This is the 3rd year we have been apart of this organization and couldn't be happier.

I cannot recommend the Broach-CES Academy highly enough! They have given my son a chance to attend this lovely school after he has had difficulty in the past remaining focused and behaving properly. He was also subjected to bullying and fighting at his prior Center Based school that absolutely destroyed his self- esteem and made him want to harm himself at just 13! Heartbroken at the fact that my child is being left behind educationally and socially and emotionally I reached out for help and the Broach school gave us a chance when it seemed no one else cared or wanted to help us succeed! They are so inclusive and kind and supportive of his unique situation. They gave us a clean slate and a chance at a future! Dr Oak and Mrs. Pascuzzi and the entire team are absolutely amazing! Professional and so kind at the same time. They will get us on the right path to success for my son and us as a family! Thanks again Dr Oak and CES Academy, we will always be eternally grateful for this opportunity for my son to be educated in a safe and nurturing environment!

It is hard to believe that a kid can be discriminated against at a school for kids with special needs, but that’s exactly how my wife and I feel about what was done to our son here. He attended Kindergarten last course at the Broach School Tampa. Everything went very well; he was very happy there with his teacher and friends. He did pretty good in all his grades, outstanding in all of them, passing to the first grade. His teacher always told us that he was doing great, always improving; we were really happy for him. After the year ended, we received an email from the principal Nikole Oak. She basically said that the school was creating a new special program for all the kids that had the support of an ABA RBT, because the RBTs will not be allowed in the regular classrooms anymore. This new special program, which by the way is 6K dollars more expensive, was our only option based on what she told us (we have all her emails). We were shocked by this, and we even tried to appeal to her with a very emotional email, an email she didn’t even care to respond to. For all those with kids with special needs, you know how hard is for them to break routines, meet new people, etc. How hard it is to find a school they can even attend to. But that is not it, the worst came after. We know for a fact that all the other kids that had RBTs in the same class as our son, they started the 1st grade normally. No changes, and no new special plans for them. Apparently that new rule only applied to our son, which is why we strongly believe he was discriminated against. You lied to us, principal Oak, and pretty much forced my son out of your school with your unilateral decision, without even caring about all the damage this has caused to him.

My son has been going to Broach for a year now. He was in public school for years and wasn’t getting the help he really needed. He was really struggling academically and would come home upset and frustrated almost everyday. Since attending Broach his whole attitude has changed. He comes home from school a lot happier now. They’re meeting him at the level he’s at and working with him at his own pace. I know with the help and support of his teacher, the staff and his wonderful principal Dr. Oak he will succeed!

My son started his first year of school at The Broach. At first I was a very worried parent considering my son is autistic and still had trouble communicating. However, Dr. Oak & the staff has been very attentive to our concerns and needs. The curriculum they had in place for my son has been outstanding. He has shown by far so much more improvement than I had ever expected. All the teachers & therpist love & care for their students. The structure there is amazing as well. I definitely recommend.

My boy is 10 years old. Since he started at this school, he has been happier and enjoys going to school. Every day he shares how amazing Mrs. Cameron is; she is very patient. Dr. Oaks knows almost every child by name, which is amazing when someone who deals with a lot of people remembers your child. For me, that means a lot. I highly recommend this school.

My son has attended The Broach School for 2 years. Under the leadership of Dr. Nikole Oak, I HIGHLY recommend this school for any child. Dr. Oak provides an exceptional learning environment and a positive educational environment for EVERY student. Dr. Oak is a phenomenal principal who will work with each student and family to ensure success for the learner. Dr. Oak provides a safe school environment for each and every student on campus. She specializes in providing a wonderful school for children with and without any special needs or exceptionalities.
