I have seen my daughters excel in academics and have a positive experience attending CA. The teachers truly care about the students. They have motivated my daughters to succeed. The administrative staff has been great and care about the students as well. The director Mr Trageser is amazing. He goes above and beyond. The students admire and respect him. He has inspired a positive culture in the school.

We are so grateful to have found Center Academy at Waterford a year ago. Our daughter, now thirteen, attended several of the best private schools in Central Florida in hopes of finding one that truly understood her learning differences. Despite early intervention, she developed so much anxiety and a hatred for school. Trying to keep up with the rigorous and fast paced curriculums, that are considered the norm now, as well as, bullying, created morning battles that led to excessive tardiness and absences. Unfortunately, these issues were never understood by educators or even us as parents. We were a very tired and burned out family when we met with the school Principal Mike Trageser. It is clear that Mikes compassion and empathy for the students and parents, makes him a true leader. We have so much respect and confidence in his leadership. Our daughter loves her teachers who allow her to work at her own pace on a curriculum designed just for her. She has developed friends and finally feels safe in a learning environment that is diverse and accepting. She is thriving emotionally, socially, and academically. It is that combination that makes her want to go every morning and learn! Thank you to Mike, and all the teachers and staff at Center Academy Waterford Lakes!

Center Academy is exactly what my daughter needed! For the first time, I feel like my child is truly learning something. Her previous schools spent too much time teaching to the test and trying to navigate the more than confusing common core (particularly math). The school is very structured and focused on what my child needs. This is her first year attending, but her growth has been quite noticeable! She really likes going to school, which has also been very refreshing to see! I cant say enough good things about Center Academy. The school has been quite a blessing to my child!!! A big Thank You to Principal Trageser and all the teachers, teachers assistants and staff at Center Academy!!!

Best school ever! the principal cares about the students and always has time to serve the parents, the teachers are exceptional, very patient and really care about the academic success of our children!

Center Academy is a great school. My two boys were struggling at there other school. Since they have been going here they are almost straight A students. I would differently recommend this school.

In two and a half years, my granddaughter improved her grades from C &D to straight As with a corresponding improvement in attitude and social skills.

Excellent staff and learning environment.
