What Somerset Academy Kendall does

Somerset Academy Kendall is a public charter school operating a single campus at 9790 SW 107th Court in the Kendall area of Miami, Florida. The school provides elementary education from Pre-K through 4th grade, with a stated mission to maximize student achievement in a safe and enriching learning environment. It is designated an A+ School by the Florida Department of Education, holds a Gold Seal designation, and is accredited by Cognia (formerly AdvancED). The core product is the charter school enrollment itself, supplemented by a tuition-based Pre-Kindergarten program (PreK 3 and PreK 4 tracks with monthly billing via BridgePay), before/after school care, summer camps, and extracurricular clubs including Spanish, PE, Music, and Art.

The school operates on a publicly funded revenue model. Primary revenue comes from Florida per-pupil funding (FEFP) tied to enrolled student count, supplemented by tuition from Pre-K families and fees from auxiliary services (extended care, field trips, school lunch, school store). Enrollment is managed through Florida's Controlled Open Enrollment lottery system. Technology is entirely third-party: the school uses Colegia for its parent portal, integrates with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) parent portal, and leverages i-Ready (an adaptive diagnostic platform) and FortifyFL (state reporting platform). No proprietary technology is developed or owned.

Operationally, Somerset Academy Kendall is part of the Somerset Academy, Inc. multi-campus charter network and is supported by Academica as its contracted Education Service Provider, which delivers administrative, compliance, and back-office functions. The school has its own Principal (Saili A. Hernandez) and local Governing Board. Go-to-market is community-led: recruitment relies on parent-to-parent referrals, Instagram presence, parent orientation sessions, and the Florida state enrollment platform. The school has no external funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no disclosed investor ownership; it is a non-profit public charter entity.
