Gulliver Preparatory School or simply Gulliver Prep, is a private co-educational school. Its management offices are in Kendall, a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its three campuses are across the county.

Previously the administrative offices were in Coral Gables.

History

Gulliver Academy was founded in 1926. Gulliver Preparatory opened in 1975. The Miller Drive Campus opened in 1996. In 2021 Gulliver Preparatory broke ground on a new center for student life, which will be located at its Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus. The center is the first major construction undertaken as part of the school's new master plan. It is also part of Gulliver's long-term plan to consolidate its four academic campuses into two.

Campuses

The school reports more than 2,200 students enrolled at two campuses.

• Gulliver Prep - Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus - Coral Gables
• Gulliver Prep - Upper School Campus - Pinecrest

Academics

Gulliver Prep offers honors, International Baccalaureate program, Advanced Placement, work and extracurricular experiences. Gulliver offers more than 30 AP courses, an internship program, and dual enrollment opportunities at the University of Miami, Florida International University and Miami-Dade College.

Gulliver Preparatory awards the International Baccalaureate Diploma.

Age discrimination lawsuit

In 2014, Patrick Snay, a former headmaster for the Miami, Florida location, was awarded a settlement of $80,000 related to an age discrimination complaint he had brought against the institution when his 2010 contract was not renewed. Snay's daughter, Dana Snay, posted information about the settlement on social media and her post was used as evidence that the Snays had violated the non-disclosure agreement with Gulliver Preparatory; courts ultimately ruled in the school's favor.
