The Cutler Bay Ocean Academy of Science and Technology (COAST) is a STEM/STEAM base marine science magnet program at Cutler Bay Middle, a Title I school located in Cutler Bay, Florida. The COAST program is a two-time national merit awardee (Magnet Schools of America – School of Distinction 2019 and 2020) that focuses on creating future environmental stewards with a passion for conservation and restoration. Students engage and interact with South Florida’s unique coastline and ecosystems including the pine rock lands, hardwood hammocks, mangroves, everglades, seagrass beds, coral reefs, and the open ocean.

In support of the COAST program, the COAST Academy Parent Association (CAPA) was created. This organization is a NON-PROFIT 501(c)(3) organized by parents and local Town of Cutler Bay community members.
