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.

Famous quotes containing the words school, history and/or philosophy:
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“While you’re playing cards with a regular guy or having a bite to eat with him, he seems a peaceable, good-humoured and not entirely dense person. But just begin a conversation with him about something inedible, politics or science, for instance, and he ends up in a deadend or starts in on such an obtuse and base philosophy that you can only wave your hand and leave.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
