Montessori Way School has been teaching young minds the Montessori way for the last 30 years. Located in south Orlando, we are a small, community-based private school for ages 3 – 12. Our mission is to instill the love of learning for lifelong growth and academic success.
MWS summer camp is open for enrollment typically starting March 1:
Some of the biggest events on campus are Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Earth Day, among others. If you’re a current parent, we encourage you to get involved in supporting these and other campus traditions.
VPK is a Florida-sponsored pre-kindergarten program. If you are looking for a VPK for your four year old, you need to apply for a certificate through the Division of Early Learning in Florida at http://www.floridaearlylearning.com/vpk and then present that certificate to your school of choice.
We nurture students’ whole development through Montessori multisensory experiences and enrichment classes like art, music, or chess.
We are a small, close-knit school where traditions, service, and friendship are the foundation for learning.
Our non-traditional classrooms support each child’s unique spirit. Together we question, create, share, and imagine.
In the Montessori system, each child grows gradually, at their own pace, in a supportive environment.
In the first year, children practice fine motor skills, concentration, and order through Practical Life curriculum, like pouring water and tending plants.
In the second year, children experiment with sensorial materials, vocabulary, and music. They learn beginning sounds, numbers, the decimal system, and countries of the world.
During the third year (the traditional kindergarten year), the seeds that have been planted in the first and second year begin to blossom. Students are reading, writing, and showing concrete math understanding. Primary graduates have a strong set of academic and social skills. To them, school is fun and exciting.
The Elementary program builds on the foundations of Primary. Montessori Way School offers a Lower Elementary (ages 6-9) and Upper Elementary (ages 9-12) program.
As one of our elementary teachers, Mrs. Cabrera, says about this age group, “My students are thirsty for knowledge and ready to learn. Many of them are their own walking encyclopedias!”
The elementary classroom is a space where students can focus on their self-chosen work, with minimal interruption. They explore new topics, connect new ideas, and make new friendships.
Elementary students often work in pairs or groups. They learn how to collaborate with peers and teachers and practice constructive problem-solving.
Designed around the children’s natural cognitive abilities, the elementary program focuses not on rote memorization and rigid testing but rather how each child as a whole can step farther and farther towards independence in their social bearing, academic knowledge, and sense of well-being.
Before and After School hours are available for our Montessori Way School parents. Children may start as early as 7:30 am and stay until 6pm. Before and After School Hours are included in the All-Day Program.

The attitudes and confidence developed during these formative years will serve the child throughout his/her lifetime.
