Windermere Preparatory School is a beautiful pre-k-3 through<br />

grade 12 private school located on 48 acres in south-west<br />

Orlando, which opened its doors to the community in 2000.<br />

The high school curriculum is not solely <strong>IB</strong> with a current<br />

enrollment of 275 students across grades 9 through 12. All of<br />

our <strong>IB</strong> Diploma Programme courses are taught as two-year<br />

courses. We are currently in our second year of the programme<br />

with a class of approximately 75 students in grade 11 and 52 in<br />

grade 12.<br />

Our entire campus is completely wireless and all students,<br />

grades 5 and up, are required to use a personal laptop for<br />

coursework. We also offer a boys’/girls’ boarding program for<br />

high school students. Windermere Prep’s school<br />

administrators and faculty are highly professional, committed,<br />

knowledgeable, and are recognized as a critical part of a strong<br />

education. This is closely coupled with parental participation<br />

and support. The school community grows out of strong, open<br />

communication between administration, faculty, parents,<br />

students, and the community at large.<br />

Windermere Prep is a member of the Florida High School<br />

Athletic Association (FHSAA), which promotes, directs,<br />

supervises, and regulates all interscholastic high school<br />

athletic events in the State of Florida. We have both boys’ and<br />

girls’ teams in all of the following sports: football, golf,<br />

swimming, volleyball, basketball, soccer, baseball, tennis,<br />

and track. We also offer lacrosse (boys only).<br />

drama, film and dance where students are always encouraged<br />

to explore their talents and options, whether through drawing,<br />

music through enrollment in music classes: chorus or band.<br />

Creating and producing films as well as creating and<br />

the performing arts curricula.<br />

Our philosophy provides an educational environment that<br />

fosters civic virtue, which includes honesty, integrity, trust,<br />

self-worth, self-discipline, respect for authority, concern for<br />

others, appreciation for a free-market economy, and pride in<br />

our community and country. At Windermere Preparatory<br />

School, we seek to graduate young men and women who<br />

possess the capacity to create new things, new experiences,<br />

new ideas; who can discover the truth for themselves; who<br />

possess useful knowledge; and who know the ways of the<br />

human heart.
