History
Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores originally opened in 1997 as a middle school called Miami Shores/Barry University Charter School. The school included 9 portable structures built on the corner of NW 115th St and NW 2nd Ave and served as an alternative to Horace Mann Middle School for Miami Shores residents.
Upon gaining further funding in 2005, the school was renamed Doctors Charter School of Miami Shores and a permanent structure built on land that once was the home of the Biscayne Kennel Club, later owned by Barry University; with funds from the North Dade Medical Foundation and by the financial support of the citizens of Miami Shores.
