     Known as the urban center of Magic City, Downtown Miami is the cityscape of glittering skyscrapers over Biscayne Bay, a hub of international finance, dining, arts, entertainment, and top-notch education in the Central Business District! 

    Feast your eyes on Downtown Miami, a popular neighborhood divided by the Miami River, bordered by Midtown (Edgewater and Wynwood) to the north, Biscayne Bay to the east, Civic Center and Overtown to the west, and Coconut Grove to the south.

    It is a waterfront community lined with marinas and off-shore islands (both natural and artificial), backed by architecturally impressive high buildings-- and two or three odd palm trees, give or take. 

     Beyond its natural beauty, it brims with a vast history and culture expected of old city neighborhoods, albeit there's nothing antiquated or old-fashioned about it. 

     And aside from its 'new-old' vibe and its explosion of new-build condominiums, trendy new bars, and restaurants, business opportunities, you'll also find a few selections of schools in your midst! 

     Here's a list of schools in and around Downtown Miami. 

    ELEMENTARY
