The City of Cape Coral Oasis Charter Schools continue to collect major national awards for their academic accomplishments and highly effective charter school system.

Recently, Oasis Elementary North and Oasis Middle School were two, out of 19 schools in the U.S., to be named an “ITEEA STEM School of Excellence” by the International Technology and Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA).

ITEEA recognizes schools for their commitment to providing students with a robust integrative STEM education program. This is the second year in a row Oasis Middle has made the prestigious list.

STEM is an essential learning component for all four of the city of Cape Coral Oasis Charter Schools, with students in grades K-12 participating.

The municipal charter schools’ road to excellence is expansive and includes receiving the preeminent “Circle of Excellence” award from the COGNIA Global Accreditation for demonstrating outstanding leadership in innovation. Oasis was the only K-12 municipal charter system in Florida to earn the honor, and only one of 38 schools world-wide to be chosen.

COGNIA also awarded Oasis with the coveted School System of Distinction, 2022. Oasis is one of 20 Florida schools to land on the envied international list. School systems receive this award because they consistently exemplify excellence in education services. Oasis Charter Schools is the only K-12 charter school system in Cape Coral that offers a STEM-centered curriculum at each grade level.

Under the leadership of Superintendent Jacquelin Collins, Oasis Charter Schools consistently receives an “A” rating from the Florida Department of Education based on student performance. The high school has a graduation rate of 98 percent.
