Gulliver Preparatory School or simply Gulliver Prep, is a private co-educational school. Its management offices are in Kendall, Florida, a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its previous administrative offices were in Coral Gables, Florida.
History
[edit | edit source]20th century
[edit | edit source]Gulliver Academy was founded in 1926.[1] In 1952 Marian Krutulis purchased it, reopening it in 1954 and moving it to the Coral Gables site in 1967.[2] High School classes were added; the first senior class graduated in 1977.[3] It is a for-profit school.[4][5] The Miller Drive Campus opened in 1996.[6]
21st century
[edit | edit source]Marian Cline Krutulis, the school's owner, also served as director of the school until 2007 when she was succeeded by her son, John Krutulis.[7] Jonathan M. Schoenwald became the principal of the prep school in 2014. With a PhD in American history from Stanford University and administrative experience at Hunter College of the City University of New York, Princeton University, and Stanford, Schoenwald's appointment was unusual for a high school.[8]
In 2022, Gulliver Preparatory opened a new center for student life, located at its Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus.[9][10]
