****Gulliver Preparatory School or simply Gulliver Prep, is a private co-educational school. Its management offices are in Kendall, a census-designated place in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Its three campuses are across the county. Previously the administrative offices were in Coral Gables.

History

In 2021 Gulliver Preparatory broke ground on a new center for student life, which will be located at its Marian C. Krutulis PK-8 Campus. The center is the first major construction undertaken as part of the school's new master plan. It is also part of Gulliver's long-term plan to consolidate its four academic campuses into two.

Age discrimination lawsuit

In 2014, Patrick Snay, a former headmaster for the Miami, Florida location, was awarded a settlement of $80,000 related to an age discrimination complaint he had brought against the institution when his 2010 contract was not renewed. Snay's daughter, Dana Snay, posted information about the settlement on social media and her post was used as evidence that the Snays had violated the non-disclosure agreement with Gulliver Preparatory; courts ultimately ruled in the school's favor.
