NEWGATE MONTESSORI SCHOOL

NEWGATE SCHOOL IS AN INDEPENDENT, NON-PROFIT, INTERNATIONAL, COLLEGE-PREPARATORY MONTESSORI SCHOOL that offers a distinctive educational experience, preparing students for both university and life. As a Montessori school, NewGate nurtures intelligence, curiosity, and imagination, while supporting each student’s unique talents. The school’s goal is to graduate well-rounded individuals who are lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and active leaders in their communities, their country, and the world. NewGate instills universal values, encourages responsible citizenship, and promotes an entrepreneurial spirit. A close-knit and collaborative school community is at the heart of NewGate, where parents, students, and educators work together through open communication, planning, and problem-solving.

NewGate emphasizes entrepreneurial skills, economic literacy, and leadership development. Students from the age of six explore local businesses, government roles, and even start their own small businesses. Older students gain real-world experience through workplace internships. NewGate prides itself on its diversity, bringing together families from many communities. NewGate’s diverse community is dedicated to fostering inclusion and accessibility. The school provides tuition assistance, accepts Florida State Scholarships, and promotes sustainability with organic gardening and environmental education. With a strong commitment to ethical technology use, peace education, and community service, NewGate School prepares students to become compassionate leaders who can positively impact the world around them. We understand that education is a journey, not a race.

At NewGate, each child is recognized and respected as a unique individual. Our classrooms focus on hands-on learning, independence, and self-discipline, empowering students to develop into self-confident, kind, and critical thinkers. NewGate is dedicated to providing an innovative, research-based curriculum that nurtures a love of learning and prepares students for success in college, career, and beyond.
