Canterbury School of Florida is a private, co-ed, college preparatory school on two campuses in Saint Petersburg, Florida serving three-year-olds through Grade 12. Founded in 1968, Canterbury School of Florida serves Pinellas County, Florida.
Canterbury School of Florida is situated on two campuses in northeast St. Petersburg. The Hough Campus at 1200 Snell Isle Blvd. is for PK3 - grade 4. The 11-acre Knowlton Campus at 990 62nd Ave. NE is for grades 5-12.
The Knowlton Campus is home to our one-of-a-kind, 2,800 square foot Cousteau Center for Marine Studies, as well as our Dollinger Center, the school's 483-seat theater used for productions for both campuses, and the gymnasium and three athletic fields.
In 2015, a Maker Space on the Hough Campus and Innovation Lab on the Knowlton Campus were created to integrate technology and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) into the entire curriculum at every grade level.
Honors, Advanced Honors, and 24 Advanced Placement courses are offered. Canterbury supports experiential learning by incorporating field trips, community service, and the maker space and innovation lab into the curriculum to enhance classroom instruction. There is a strong focus on Marine Studies for all students, PK3 - Grade 12, as it is the first school to be a Cousteau Divers partner school, which means that all studies and underwater data recorded by our students during their studies can be accessed and used in international marine studies.
