“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
— Plato
Greek Philosopher
Plato Academy Schools began in Florida in 2004 with a vision to provide students with an education rooted in Greek culture, heritage, and language. Starting as a single school, it has grown into a network of nine K-8 charter schools across three counties, along with a high school in Tampa. Guided by the Socratic method, Plato Academy emphasizes critical thinking, character development, and experiential learning.
The schools blend tradition and innovation, offering advanced academics such as accelerated math programs and high school credit opportunities for middle school students. They also focus on developing the whole child through art, music, sports, and community engagement. With strong support from the Plato Education Foundation, the commitment to Greek culture is evident in language classes and cultural activities.
Plato Academy fosters a family-oriented atmosphere where parents are actively involved through volunteer hours, creating a secure and supportive learning environment. By combining rigorous academics with cultural enrichment and character education, Plato Academy Schools continue to shape well-rounded individuals ready to succeed in life while preserving the legacy of Greek educational ideals.
Plato Academy Schools, comprising nine K through 8th grade campuses across three counties and a high school in Tampa, offer an advanced and challenging curriculum designed to foster academic excellence and personal growth for all students.
Starting in 3rd grade, our accelerated math program challenges students to excel, preparing them for advanced coursework in middle and high school and building a strong foundation for future success in STEM fields. Our schools are staffed by caring and professional certified educators who uphold high academic and behavior standards, creating a nurturing environment for all students. In addition to core subjects, students benefit from a diverse array of programs, including gifted education, music, art, and Greek as a second language. Ensuring a safe and secure environment, Plato Academy Schools also promote physical activity and teamwork, with sports programs starting as early as 5th grade.
Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year is open.
The entire staff and teachers are exceptional! My children were welcomed with a smile and everyone was very approachable and friendly. It made starting a new school fun for them and reassuring for me! Thank you! Mrs. Morgado, thank you for making my daughter and ME feel welcome and for the positive communication! Mrs. Pampena, thank you for easing our anxiety! And for your kindness!
Vincent loves Plato and all his teachers. Thank you – your work and understanding are noticed and much appreciated!
It is so nice to walk on campus and have every staff member know your child by name as well as the parents AND grandparents! The family feel is amazing and was something we truly wanted for our child.
They focus on providing a top-notch education, and they create an environment that is enriching for my son. The classes are small. The teachers provide individualized attention to each student. Each student is provided their own laptop to learn, study, and read.
Our daughter is encouraged in ways she never would be in her zoned school. The principal is respected and adored by the kids. I watch them rock paper scissors it out at lunch just to sit with him!
I love this school! The staff provides personalized attention to the students, every student gets a laptop, each classroom has a smart board, the standards are high and the results are impressive. Our daughter loves going to school at Plato, which makes the entire experience enjoyable.
We would like to express our gratitude to you all for being so kind, caring and overall good to our children and always looking out for them. This has been by far the best experience of schooling for our children and we are very thankful to have had the opportunity to meet you all!!!
