Despite being listed as a regular public school in the data, parents should verify the school's actual governance and admission requirements, as the name suggests a private Episcopal institution. The school operates in Coral Gables, a picturesque small city known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture and family-friendly atmosphere in the heart of Miami-Dade County.

As a private school, St Thomas Episcopal Parish School operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
