Head of School Welcome
Imagine a dynamic learning environment that fosters a child’s natural curiosity and offers the freedom to explore, create, and discover. At Corbett Prep, we believe students deserve more than just knowledge – they need the confidence and resilience to embrace new challenges; they need to be known and valued, supported and stretched in equal measure.
We believe these are the building blocks of personal growth and academic achievement.
Our focus on PreK3 through 8th grade, an engaging curriculum, and our International Baccalaureate Program allows us to develop well-rounded, considerate, and responsible future leaders.
We are particularly proud that our students come from a diverse range of backgrounds, bringing with them unique perspectives that in turn make Corbett Prep such a truly special place to learn and grow.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our school. We’re excited to meet you and your family and look forward to sharing the magic behind what has been the best learning environment for students from all over Tampa Bay for more than half a century.
Corbett Prep Leadership
The 2026-27 school year marks the beginning of Corbett Prep’s Strategic Action Plan, a roadmap for the next four years. Working through that process made it clear that our leadership structure should reflect what we believe most deeply: students and teachers belong at the center of everything we do. Every role surrounding them exists to provide the resources, guidance, encouragement, and support our classrooms need to grow, learn, innovate, and thrive.
Families will notice some changes to our administrative team when school begins in August. Claudine Doyle will serve in a new position as Assistant Head of Teaching and Learning. Ms. Doyle brings to Corbett Prep extensive experience in independent schools, a deep commitment to supporting teachers, and a genuine passion for joyful, challenging learning.
Two longtime Corbett Prep educators are also taking on new roles. Michael LeBlanc will serve as Elementary Director and Seth Travaglino as Middle School Director. They are both trusted leaders who know our community well and always put students first. Mr. LeBlanc and Mr. Travaglino will oversee the daily life, operations, and overall health of their divisions while working closely with instructional directors, Ms. Doyle, and Head of School Jennifer Jagdmann.
