School's History and Philosophy
Gulliver Academy was as established in 1926 by Arthur Gulliver in Miami’s residential Coconut Grove section. After purchasing the school, Marian Krutulis moved the school to South Dade, an area that would soon undergo a major population explosion. Centered in Coral Gables, there are now five campuses today, each serving a specific age group or targeting a particular student interest or need. Gulliver Preparatory School, opened in 1975, serves students in grade nine through grade twelve and is located nearby in what came to be known as the Village of Pinecrest.
