School Notes

  • R School Winter Haven anticipates opening its doors for the 2018-2019 school year.
  • We will start with two multiage classrooms and plan on our campus growing with our students each year.
  • We are accepting applications for the following classroom placements:Beginning Primary-for 5-7 year old children at the kindergarten and first grade levels and Lower Primary-for 7-9 year old children at the second and third grade levels. Class size is capped at 15 students per program.
  • Education is not a "one-size-fits-all" business and R School is committed to bringing Winter Haven and surrounding areas options that help meet the needs of students and their families. Our flexible model allows for families to choose the right option for them, at the right price point, and on the right schedule. R School allows students to follow their passions and engage in the world through first person, hands-on experiences. We design our educational optionsto meet the students where they are.
  • Every family has different needs, so we have several programs to choose from. Both full-time and part-time programs are available (full-time students will receive priority in placement). All of our campus-based programs utilizemultiage grouping (children within 3 years of each other in age), because it more accurately reflects real life and can provide both social and educational benefits. Multiple program and sibling discounts are available.We do not currently accept the McKay or Tax-Credit Scholarships. We accept students with the Gardiner Scholarship for part-time tutoring.
