“My son is in kindergarten at brandon academy and we can't believe the progress he has made in one year here. The students are reading at a first grade level, well beyond their peers at several public schools i have observed (a rated schools!). He has spanish, art, pe, music, and computers among other electives twice a week. The school goes on field trips every month, sometimes twice a month. The cost of education is reasonable and we are thrilled that we have a great school to send him to through 8th grade because there are a serious lack of good middle schools in the brandon area and we know how difficult it is to school choice burns middle. The focus of the school is not on fcat, but on the development of the child and a well rounded education, and manners, which are all sadly lacking in hillsborough public schools.”

“I approached Brandon Academy about potential enrollment of my son mid-way thru his 8th grade year. Mr. Rudolph was open-minded, warm, caring, considerate and - most of all - helpful. After careful review and discussion about our unique circumstances and whether the school was a good fit, my son was accepted and enrolled. That was only the beginning. The staff and students alike are wonderful. They welcomed my son with open arms and made him feel like 'one of the family' from day 1. This was very different and a much welcome change compared to our previous experiences at other schools. I recommend Brandon Academy without hesitation.”

“From a military family who's had her child in three other private schools in the southeastern U.S., I can say without a doubt that Brandon Academy is not only the best school academically, but one where my child happily goes to school every day. That's a tall order these days!”

“I can't say enough great things about this hidden gem of a school. Public school does not compare to this- teachers are involved, there are great extra-curricular activities, there is a committment to excellence and behavior that is rare these days. I feel good about sending my child here everyday.”

“Brandon Academy has had exceptional scholastic and extra curricular programs ove the past 10+ years, but the school has accelerated to a new high level since Rob Rudolph has taken ownership. His positive leadership and intense active involvement from all aspects has led to higher student involvement in sports and more active communications between teachers and prents. The teachers encourage positive challenges for the students and are all available for free supplemental tutoring daily. The campus is well kept and educational materials and equipment are upgraded regularly. Spanish, Art and Computers Sciences electives are taught by well qualified staff. Parents are actively involved and their ideas are regularly adopted into school decisions. The school encourages high academic achievement in a positive, strongly ethical environment. Tuition is modest for this level of quality.”

“This is a wonderful school with quality teachers. All teachers must have an education degree they are not just certified. The school works with parents and children to make sure the needs are met with success and good feelings for all.”
