Conchita Espinosa Academy is a fully-accredited, co-educational independent private school for grades K3 through 8th. For over 80 years, Conchita Espinosa Academy has given its students an exceptional academic curriculum partnered with a sophisticated arts and humanities foundation, sensitivity to the arts and human needs, a sense of self-worth, and strong human values.
Due to the COVID-19 global health crisis, CEA has moved all school and Conservatory classes online for the remainder of the school year. We will continue to monitor and follow the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Florida Department of Health. Updated information will be continually provided to our current families via email.
“Children need to move, they need to sing, they need to create – these are the things
that maintain our humanity, and this is needed more than ever in times of crisis.”
For over 86 years, CEA has prepared students to be educated, cultured, and kind citizens who are empowered to look for the best in others and themselves and are shaped into young men and women who actively make a positive difference in the world by being true to their beliefs, talents and interests. Transferring these values to a virtual space and maintaining the essence of our mission has been a critical priority for the success of distance learning at CEA amidst the COVID-19 crisis that forced schools nationwide to close their buildings.

We hope we don't have to do this, but if we do need to close school for an emergency, if the Miami-Dade County Schools close due to hurricane or other inclement weather, Conchita Espinosa Academy will also close. We will notify the local radio and television stations. We will reopen when the Miami-Dade County Schools open or you will be notified by a Parents Partnership Association member via our telephone tree. We will also keep you updated via our social media channels.
