The Charter School Changing Lives in Florida City | Andres Camacho

Andres Camacho joins us to share the story of Miami Community Charter School — a K through 12 institution that's been quietly transforming lives in Florida City for years. He walks us through how the school is structured, who owns it, how it's funded, and what makes it different from a traditional public school experience.

We get into favorite programs, sports, alumni involvement, post-graduation support, social emotional learning, and how the school is adapting to the latest technology — including the ongoing debate around phones in the classroom. Andres also opens up about the growth of Florida City, success stories, and what's next for the school.

This is what education that truly serves its community looks like.
