35 Years of Building the Future
Two schools. Two markets. One philosophy. 35 years of proof.
A Belief That Education Should Be Different
In 1990, Bob and Rowena Flanders converted a warehouse into three classrooms and opened Central Florida Community School with seven students. They believed that every child deserved to be known by name, challenged to think critically, and supported by teachers who genuinely cared. They didn't have deep pockets and they had no investors. Just a conviction that education could be done differently.
The Results Tell the Story
What started with seven students now spans two schools, 11 acres, more than 1,000 students, and 125 staff members. Our graduates get into the high schools and universities of their choice, not because they were drilled on test prep, but because they learned how to think, communicate, and lead. That was the belief in 1990. It's the standard today.
