Welcome!
Our mission at Shelton is for families and teachers to work together in the upbringing and formation of responsible adults, individuals that strive for attaining excellence whilst committing to serving others. At the same time our vision is focused on empowering future generations as they excel in life accompanied by the values of the Catholic faith. All in all, our hope is for our students to contribute positively to society with a spirit of innovation. Shelton Academy takes great pride in instilling human excellence, family values, and an unrelenting service to others.
Mentoring
From the beginning, the idea of creating a mentoring program was to assume the big task of forming our teachers to be our students’ guides. We need to understand the beautiful purpose of this mission: to help our families empower their children with the necessary tools that will enable them to become the main contributors to society, in the spirit of service and innovation. Our task as a school is subsidiary, for it is for the parents to educate and guide their children. However, as a school centered on the family as well as on the student, we are committed to helping our families achieve these powerful goals for their children.
Mentoring allows us to personalize our mission. It is the way we empower our students and the manner in which we help them fulfill their individual needs. Via one-on-one conversations, our mentors encourage students to strive for academic excellence, to embrace service towards others, and to be able to use their personal qualities to innovatively change the world around them. Mentoring ensures that each mentee feels understood, cared for, and positively challenged. Through regular one-on-one conversations with a well-trained and experienced faculty/staff member serving as their mentor, the student develops skills that will last a lifetime: striving for academic excellence, serving others, and developing the good habits that will allow them to be happy and to make a positive contribution to our world.
Spiritual Life
Education at Shelton Academy encompasses the use of the mind and soul. Religion is a required course at every grade level. The formation of our students based on Catholic values is a priority and is ever present throughout every activity. Masses are offered on several occasions during the span of the school year as well as regular opportunities to access the Sacrament of Confession, faculty and parent supervised service projects, and various charitable outreach programs that benefit those most in need within our community. These programs and opportunities allow students to materialize their faith into practice. Note that the prayers and Catholic traditions that are practiced at Shelton Academy are in accordance with the liturgical calendar.
Dear Shelton Academy Families,
Welcome to Shelton Academy! It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your Head of School. At Shelton Academy, our mission is to prepare responsible adults who strive for human excellence and dedicate themselves in service to others. Our humanistic curriculum, small class sizes, and outstanding faculty provide an environment that allows our students to excel while they attain their maximum potential. We offer a variety of AP courses as well as a challenging honors curriculum. Our Early Years and Lower School students have a great variety of special area courses, from MINDS to DIVE to World Languages to Music and Art. Because students can start in PreK-3 and stay with us until graduation, we offer a curriculum that is vertically aligned to ensure a solid and holistic education. Our graduates have gone on to top universities both within the United States and abroad.
To achieve our goals, we work closely with parents who are our students’ first teachers. We want to help parents. Our goal at Shelton is not just to educate the child but to also help the whole family embrace the legacy of our Patron St. Josemaria Escriva – that we are all called to holiness in our daily lives. Additionally, we are committed to offering students the finest education possible based on Catholic values. Aside from the variety of challenging core academic subjects, religion is taught at every grade level. Holy Masses are offered every month during the school year as well as regular opportunities to receive the Sacrament of Confession.
At Shelton we strive to develop the intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual well-being of each student. Tied to that is our Character Education and Mentoring Program. The Mentoring Program is the first of its kind in the Miami area. The program has a proven track record with various success stories stemming from schools in the United States and abroad. Shelton Academy’s mentoring seeks to assist parents in the overall education of their child. It helps them unlock their fullest potential in an academic setting and in their general character education. The heart and soul of any great school is in its faculty, and we are proud to say that Shelton Academy teachers are the best! Our faculty and staff are dedicated to the craft of teaching, passionate about working with children and young adults, and committed to the idea that learning is truly a collaborative endeavor. Our teachers are focused on molding their students into the best version of themselves. The mission and vision of our school is lived daily by our esteemed faculty.
Our school facilities continue to improve, offering an enriched environment designed to inspire learning, creativity, and personal growth, while enhancing the overall student experience. Our goal is to help students develop in all aspects and to build strong interpersonal relationships. Whether it’s playing pickleball or conducting a science experiment, you will experience it at Shelton!
I invite you to visit us and experience the warm environment in which we support and teach our students. I believe you too will see what a special place Shelton is!
Warmest regards,
Barbara Acosta
