As parents, we all share the same dream – we want our children to be happy and successful.
Education is key in fulfilling that dream. That is why making smart and informed decisions about school options for your child is crucial.
At the same time, schools are looking to connect with families in a more meaningful and intentional way — creating spaces where conversations, questions, and real connections can happen.
There are many different school options out there, and we all want the perfect fit for our children. So how do we know what is best for them? By becoming informed, engaged, and connected.
Designed to be the official launch of the 2026 Admissions Season as well as Miami’s most intentional and informative school admissions event, the Miami Schools Fair & Conference & Fair will be held on September 18 at University of Miami Campus.
