Theatre with its own black box, jazz under the open sky, a school-run fashion show — plus college credits at the adjacent Indian River State College. This is no ordinary public school.
No brochure promises — the photos on this page come straight from the school and show real everyday life.
The Visual and Performing Arts program is the strongest in the district — theatre, dance, vocal and instrumental music, visual arts, plus fashion, jazz and photography. With its own black-box stage and “The Dome” performance venue.
Every semester the whole school produces a VAPA showcase together — orchestra, musical, dance and set design from one team. Spend a year here and you are not watching from the sidelines — you are right in the middle of it.
AP courses, the Cambridge AICE program and dual enrollment at the adjacent Indian River State College: students leave high school with real college credits.
The results speak for themselves — a 99 percent graduation rate, and with 96 percent attendance, students clearly like showing up.
From soccer and lacrosse to wrestling — plus a 9-acre golf training facility in partnership with Vista Plantation. Exchange students train and compete from day one.
Real photos from the school and its surroundings — the place where your child will spend this year.
Finding this school on your own is doable. But choosing the right one of four accredited options, lining up a vetted host family, navigating the visa, and having someone on the ground in Florida who can be there within an hour — that's what SIDO offers. We know every principal of every partner school personally. If your child has a problem, we're not at a desk in Germany — we're in Vero Beach. In person or on the phone, whichever helps.
Curious students who want academic variety and arts immersion — and who thrive in a larger, vibrant public-school environment.
We help you choose the right school — free, personal, no pressure. Thirty minutes on the phone is usually enough to know whether this school is the right fit or another one would serve your child better.
