History
Champagnat Catholic School was founded by Dr. Reinaldo and Mrs. Maria I. Alonso at a time in the history of Miami when there was a shortage of schools. Champagnat came in to strengthen the religious, the civic and patriotic roots of children coming in from Cuba and Central and South America. Champagnat started under the auspices of the Marist Brothers due to Dr. Alonso's previous years as principal of the Champagnat elementary in La Vibora, Cuba and later on the Champagnat high school in Cienfuegos, Cuba.
Champagnat Miami campus opened its classroom doors on September 8, 1968 at the corner of 29th Avenue and 7th Street SW in Miami with 123 students. In 1970 the school moved to its present address of 2609 NW 7th Street in Miami, and in 1973 the school opened the doors to a second campus presently located at 369 East 10 Street in Hialeah.
The school is accredited by the National Private Schools Accreditation Alliance, which is not recognized as an accrediting agency by the U.S. Department of Education.[2]
