Our Story & Vision
The story of Children In The Spirit Private School began with a clear calling felt by our founder, Ms. Akel. Drawing from a deep background in professional education and a heart for Christian ministry, she envisioned a learning environment where academic excellence and spiritual development were inseparable. What started as a vision for the children of Tamarac has blossomed into a thriving community welcoming students from Tamarac and surrounding Broward County communities, where faith inspires discovery every single day.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
Ms. Akel’s foundation is built on the belief that children are whole beings who deserve an education that respects their emotional, social, and spiritual complexities. We are committed to continuing this legacy of warmth and professionalism, serving children and families throughout Broward County and ensuring that our school remains a safe harbor for families who value academic rigor rooted in Christ’s love.
