“My daughter sang in an opera

... in first grade.”

In Sarasota there is a Montessori-style school that approaches education in a totally different way. Rather than a textbook-based curriculum, New Gate School focuses every child’s natural creativity and inquisitiveness.

This expands their thinking and ability to solve problems, even in their formative years. The results are extraordinary, as their comprehension and knowledge increase at a much more advanced pace than conventionally taught children. But far more important, is how this knowledgeseeking discipline prepares them not just for college, but for life.

Unleashing a Child’s Creativity. For Life.
