Peek in our Experiential School, home of the youngest Shorecrest Chargers, and you'll see early childhood experts guiding our 3, 4, and 5-year-old students on the start of their learning journey. From purposeful play to in-depth investigations driven by student interests, it's not hard to see why The Experiential School is so much more than preschool.
Move through our kindergarten through fourth grade Lower School and you'll see scientists, mathematicians, problem solvers and writers deeply engaged in meaningful work that connects them to each other and the greater community.
In the fifth through eighth grade Middle School, Shorecrest students gain more independence, autonomy and choice, building on the many skills, dispositions and habits of mind fostered in the Lower School.
Finishing up in the ninth through twelfth grade Upper School you will find students exploring their interests and passions through signature experiences like the Center for Medical Sciences program, a student-created independent study, or the Global Scholars Initiative, to name a few. Shorecrest graduates cross the stage ready for college and beyond, and empowered to make a difference.
Add our exceptional athletics teams, the award-winning fine and performing arts programs, our commitment to service learning, and the five guiding Core Values - Responsibility, Respect, Integrity, Knowledge and Compassion - and you'll see why families from all across the Tampa Bay Area have chosen Shorecrest for more than 100 years.
There is something truly special about Shorecrest. I invite you to explore these pages or visit us in person and feel the Shorecrest Spark for yourself!
All the best,
Nancy L. Spencer
Head of School
