A Global Campus
Windermere Prep offers its students a rigorous program
of advanced academics and a broader world perspective.
Windermere Preparatory School is an institution fully committed to higher scholastic achievement. According to Angel Nguyen, Director of Admissions, Marketing and Communications, “Our school provides a rigorous curriculum and we are proud to maintain our record of 100% college placement.” Although the academic rigor is of significant interest to prospective families, it is the amazing opportunities the school provides that truly set it apart.
Windermere Prep is a part of Nord Anglia Education, an institution comprised of eighty-five schools in countries all around the world. As Laura Grande, Marketing and Communications Manager says, “It allows us to be a part of a global campus.” Windermere Prep itself counts students from about fifty different countries. They range from Pre-K 3 through Grade 12, with about ten percent of students living in WPS dorms off campus as part of the boarding program.
According to Nguyen, “Residing off-campus is an advantage at Windermere Prep. Students at traditional boarding schools often feel like they never get to leave the grounds. Our boarding students are bused to campus every day and arrive just like our day students.”
The school enjoys close collaborations with the likes of MIT, Juilliard, and UNICEF, which allows students to participate in next-level extra-curricular programs as well as travel opportunities far beyond Florida. Windermere Prep’s curriculum features the full International Baccalaureate program for eleventh and twelfth graders, where students can receive college credits.
As you might expect, enrollment is extremely competitive at Windermere Prep. “We currently have about two hundred families on a waitpool and we are pretty selective. We encourage all interested families to take a tour and apply as soon as possible to offset the waitpool.”
The school boasts all the expected sports programs—with twenty-six boys and girls teams represented. Plus, they offer visual arts, performing arts, theater, and band.
Expectations are set high at the school, from the earliest grade levels on. It’s that reputation that brings many parents to inquire about all Windermere Prep has to offer their children. “We get many referrals, and we even have past grads with children of their own who now attend our school,” says Nguyen. “I urge all parents who are interested to RSVP to our Prospective Families Open House on Saturday, October 21st to learn more.”
