Miami Beach Offers New Virtual School Tours
— Tours are available for all six Miami-Dade County Public Schools located in the city —
Miami Beach, FL – In an effort to attract new homeowners and businesses, the City of Miami
Beach has produced virtual tours of all six Miami-Dade County Public Schools in the
community. The internet-based student tours highlight city-funded programs and activities as
well as the excellent learning opportunities available to children who attend Miami-Dade
County Public Schools.
“Homebuyers with young children want to move to a community that places an emphasis on
education,” noted Miami Beach City Manager Alina T. Hudak. “The city funds a number of
programs that you simply can’t find elsewhere in the state of Florida.”
City of Miami Beach funded school initiatives include the International Baccalaureate program,
dual-enrollment classes taught by college-qualified instructors, SAT/ACT prep courses as well
as free after-school activities and STEAM programs, which refers to science, technology,
engineering, arts and mathematics.
When traditional school tours were halted during the COVID-19 pandemic, the city began
looking for other ways to promote Miami Beach schools and the enhanced educational
offerings available exclusively to children who attend Miami Beach public schools. The Miami
Beach Committee for Quality Education recommended that the city produce virtual tour videos
to fill the void.
“One of the benefits of virtual tours is that they can be watched by families anytime and
anywhere,” explained Miami Beach Commissioner Steven Meiner, who sponsored the motion
to fund the initiative. “It’s more convenient for busy parents than driving to each school.”
Tour videos are available for all six Miami-Dade County Public Schools in the city, including
Biscayne Beach Elementary, Miami Beach Fienberg Fisher K-8, North Beach Elementary,
Miami Beach South Pointe Elementary, Miami Beach Nautilus Middle and Miami Beach Senior
High School.
