Principals Message

Dear Somerset Families,

Welcome to Somerset Academy Avenir, An A-rated school by the Florida Department of Education in our first year. Building on the successful launch of our K–5 campus, our school community is eager to build off of our first year success by sustaining rigor, flexibility, and purposeful learning.

As founding principal, I am proud to continue leading the growth and development of our success by expanding with a middle school program rooted in academic excellence and intentional design. Drawing on my experience as a middle school principal, Somerset leader, and educator, our program was created to meet the unique academic and developmental needs of middle school learners—while remaining deeply connected to the values and culture that define Somerset Avenir.

At Somerset Academy Avenir, academics come first. Our curriculum & instruction is aligned to the Florida B.E.S.T. Standards and emphasizes student-centered learning through a STEM lens that challenges students to think critically, collaborate, and apply their learning in authentic ways. Students participate in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies, supported by flexible scheduling, accelerated pathways, and standards-based grading focused on mastery.

Students also participate in specials area education, including Physical Education, STEM, Music, Drama, and targeted academic support. With 1:1 technology, modern classrooms, and opportunities for industry certifications, enrichment, athletics, and clubs, students experience a well-rounded and engaging education.

Opening with a limited number of sixth grade classes, Somerset Academy Avenir Middle School offers a small, personalized learning environment where every student is known, supported, and challenged. Co-located on the Somerset Avenir campus, students benefit from a familiar setting while stepping confidently into a distinct middle school experience.

In addition, we are proud to offer one class of PreK-4 designed for our families to prepare students for kindergarten in the safety and comfort of our community school

We look forward to partnering with families to build a strong foundation and a lasting legacy at Somerset Academy Avenir where curiosity is cultivated, achievement is expected, and students are prepared for what’s next.
