 Welcome To Montessori World
School! The founding head
of school, W. Nora Yee, opened the school in September 1981. Located near the
Lake Buena
Vista area, its convenient location is just minutes away
from I-4 and such communities as Windermere, Bay Hill, Dr. Phillips and
Celebration, as well as Osceola and Lake Counties.
We are affiliated with the
American Montessori Society and currently have 11 certified teachers and 15
support staff, as well as 4 specialists. The school currently has two toddler
(age 20 months-3), five primary (age 3-6) and three elementary (age 6-12)
classes. We emphasize the development of self-confidence, independence,
concentration and love of learning in a carefully prepared environment that
is simple, orderly, calm and geared for the child. Our principal aim is to
help each child develop within himself the foundation for a lifetime of
creative learning. Our program is based on the educational method developed
by Dr. Maria Montessori over ninety years ago. The Primary program is fully
licensed by the Florida Dept. of Children and Families.
 Outside the classroom, special facilities continue to
encourage learning. An extensive library containing thousands of reference
and fictional books is available to both students and parents.  The media center also contains
educational videos, records and tapes and a computer-networked environment to
the Internet. Enrichment
"After School Programs" offer opportunities in art, drama, music,
dance and foreign languages. Our Elementary students participate in a
humanities program that includes art, music, physical education, Spanish,
computers and woodworking.
MWS also encourages civil
responsibility among our children, families and staff through community
outreach projects. Among these projects are food and clothes drives for local
organizations, serving the homeless, visiting assisted living facilities and
sponsoring a room in the Developmental
Center of the Howard Phillips
Center for Children and
Families.
What people have to say about MWS:
|
..."As an
observer, it was very interesting to me to see so many little children busy
and quiet; some playing alone, some working on puzzles with other children
and some getting guidance from the teachers. This program encourages the
child to have the joy of learning...It is really amazing to see 4-year olds
reading, with comprehension and understanding math. Not only that, they are
very happy doing it!"...
Betty Pasha, West Orange Times '85

"I really prefer
Montessori because it prepares you for the next grade a little better. The
teachers understand each child has to learn a different way...they
understand each child and get to know them."
Ivey, Age 11

a small class and that we have a good teacher...I feel very safe here and
it's fun!"
