The Best Schools in Key Biscayne
An island town offering South Florida's allure on a sliver of land, Key Biscayne is a quaint paradise that offers a laid-back island living with extensive city convenience, from malls and movie theaters to restaurants and bars-- and a few schools within its perimeter!
Known as Miami-Dade County's "Island Paradise," Key Biscayne is a village that lies south of Miami Beach and east of Miami.
It is a pocket of paradise between two state parks, the Atlantic Ocean and Biscayne Bay, connected to the city via Rickenbacker Causeway, a low-key tropical oasis with quaint neighborhoods, palm tree-lined streets, and various outdoor activity options.
The residential enclave attracts tourists and residents worldwide with its vibrant and laid-back island culture, providing a sweet escape from the busy Miami city life.
Yet, despite being lauded as an island paradise, the village is by no means an island without many amenities city folks seek. In fact, one can even say the island town has everything you would ever need to live a comfortable modern life-- yes, even its own schools!
