Education is a top priority in St. Petersburg, where we are serious about the curriculum choices that will enable all students to reach their full potential. The public school system consists of one county-wide district - Pinellas County Schools - where a school choice program enables parents to choose up to five schools they would like to be considered for their children. Residents who opt for a private school can select from more than 90 schools in the county.

In higher education, St. Petersburg is home to nationally recognized universities as well as some of the finest names in marine science in the southeast. These include the Florida Institute of Oceanography at USF, the U.S. Geological Survey's Center for Coastal Geology, and the Florida Marine Research Institute which is a part of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

Child Care

For more than three decades, Pinellas County has been a national model for establishing standards of child care through the Pinellas County License Board for Children’s Centers and Family Day Care Homes.

This board is comprised of community leaders and by mandate, through a highly qualified professional staff, ensures
the protection of children receiving care away from their own homes — especially the child’s health, safety and education.

While its tax-supported services are directed primarily to parents of preschool children and child care providers, the Board’s mission is to ensure the availability of quality child care programs to all who need them.

To the newcomer, the selection of a child care provider can seem difficult. Remember, you need to feel comfortable
with the choice you make.
