The Coral Gables K-8 Preparatory Academy was created to provide a 6-8 grade configuration at Merrick Educational Center. This expansion ensures that elementary students will be able to continue the strong academic and technologically rich environment infused with a language program to enable them to become bilingual and bi-literate as they enter high school.  

The initiative provides 3rd Millennium education with wireless deployment infused throughout the digital media center and the ability for global instruction through a platform of wireless notebooks, IPODS, ITunes U and virtual fieldtrips. A wellness center with high tech equipment will also be available to students.
