What Gulliver Schools does

Gulliver Schools (legally Gulliver Preparatory School, branded "Gulliver Prep") is a 501(c)(3) private, non-profit, coeducational, non-sectarian day school founded in 1926 and headquartered at 6575 N Kendall Dr, Pinecrest/Miami, Florida. The school operates as an independent institution governed by a Board of Trustees, currently chaired by Ann Olazábal, with no parent company or PE/VC ownership. It serves over 2,200 students across four divisions: Primary School (Pre-K through Senior Kindergarten), Lower School (Grades 1-4), Middle School (Grades 5-8), and Upper School (Grades 9-12).

The school's academic product is anchored by the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, Signature Academic Programs, an EDGE enrichment program, an Academic Resource Program for students with learning differences, plus athletics and arts (dance, music, theatre, visual arts) co-curriculars. Gulliver employs more than 500 faculty and staff representing over 50 countries. Curriculum delivery is traditional classroom-based with laptops provided to grades 5-8; no proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML systems, or digital product surface were disclosed in available source data. The institution is constructing a STEAM Complex (STEM Commons + Arts + Innovation Center) as part of its capital plan.

Gulliver generates revenue primarily through annual tuition payments (subscription/recurring model) billed on an annual cadence, supplemented by after-school programs and a philanthropic fundraising operation. Tuition includes textbooks, materials, yearbook, local field trips, and (in middle school) laptops. Tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed; merit scholarships and need-based financial aid are available. Go-to-market is a direct admissions process using campus visits, inquiry forms, and an admissions portal powered by Veracross, with community referrals and word-of-mouth as the primary demand-generation channel. The school markets through its website, the "Raider Connect" newsletter, community events, and earned media around student achievements. The Next 100: The Centennial Campaign is a $100 million philanthropic initiative running through 2030 to fund facilities, educator recruitment, and program expansion.
