Nautilus Middle School

Nautilus Middle School is located in a residential community on approximately 10 acres of land on Miami Beach. During its existence, the grade configuration of the school was changed from a traditional junior high school model consisting of students in grades seven through nine to a middle school model consisting of students in grades seven and eight. Concurrently, the high school within the feede

r pattern was reconfigured to serve students in grades nine through twelve. In 1993 the original school was razed and a new school, the design of which is reminiscent of the Art Deco Period, was constructed and dedicated in 1995. A three-story academic building and a single-story auditorium are the two major architectural features on the campus. Both structures are fully air conditioned and equipped with modern lighting, sound, and electrical systems. The main academic building houses a cafeteria, library/media center, general education classrooms, science laboratories, visual and performing arts suites, locker rooms, computer laboratories, and a health clinic. All classrooms are wired for both Intranet and Internet communication. The school shares an adjacent recreational park facility with the City of Miami Beach, which contains a softball field, a soccer field, four handball courts, four basketball courts, and four tennis courts.
