Park Maitland Growth

Park Maitland’s family environment and rich traditions develop leaders through wonder-filled learning, enriching experiences, and individual academic rigor.

Park Maitland was founded in 1968 as a private school that values academic excellence, character education, and the fine arts. The program was strategically designed to allow children to have fun, explore, and become excited and passionate about learning. Over fifty-four years later, the campus has grown, and technology has evolved, but the core values have remained. With a student-centered teaching approach, a premier fine arts program, and a strong emphasis on leadership development, students excel beyond the ordinary and typically above grade-level expectations.

Because of our small school model, departmentalized learning, focus on character education, and focus on the fine arts, we have seen a significant increase in demand in the local community for our unique model and type of programming.

We are incredibly excited to announce that The Parke House Academy will join the Park Maitland family, thus allowing Park Maitland Schools to offer our unique and effective educational model to more families in the Winter Park and Maitland communities.

The Park Maitland School and The Parke House Academy have both been among the top schools in the Winter Park and Maitland community for decades. Both schools' core values are in direct alignment to include academic excellence, citizenship and diversity, tradition, service, and a safe, caring environment. The Parke House Academy transition will take place over the next year, thus allowing staff, students, and families to become informed and acclimated to the Park Maitland educational model and program while ensuring the history, legacy, and many of the traditions of Parke House Academy remain intact.

Parke House Academy is in the heart of Winter Park and serves children as young as one-year-old through 5th grade; and consists of over twenty classrooms, an official size/scale gymnasium, multiple playgrounds, and multiple specialty rooms for advanced and innovative classes.

We look forward to providing you updates along the way and, as always, will continue to collect local community input and feedback.

Please join us in welcoming The Parke House Academy families and staff to our Park Maitland family.

Park Maitland Re-Enrollment 23-24 School Year

Dear Park Maitland Families,

It’s hard to believe that we are quickly approaching our Winter Break, and it’s time to start planning for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year. It has been an amazing first few months, and we are overjoyed for all that we have in store for the rest of the school year. We are excited to continue the grade-level landmark events, traditions, and field trips that make Park Maitland education so special and continue to add new ones with our expansion into complete middle school programming.

The school has seen a significant increase in enrollment over the past twelve months. We are excited about our first eighth-grade class starting in August 2023, and in doing so, now offering an entire middle school program. Many thanks to those who joined us for our Middle School Sneak Peek, where parents indicated they are waiting to secure their children’s middle school enrollment. We are also very excited by the high level of interest from external families due to our full transition to a K-8 model.

Growing enrollment at any school is exciting but comes with the challenges of limited seats. Based on the school’s current increased enrollment and community demand, we anticipate all grades to reach capacity for the 2023-24 school year by the end of February.

Priority re-enrollment for the 2023-24 school year will formally begin on January 9th. All current Park Maitland families who enroll during the priority re-enrollment period will be given priority consideration for the 2023-2024 school year before any external applicants. Open enrollment for external families will begin in February.

If you have an additional child(ren) not currently enrolled at either campus and wish to register them for the 23-24 school year, please contact the Director of Admissions at the appropriate campus to walk through the application process, completing the re-enrollment contract only applies to existing Park Maitland students, and younger sibling(s) need to apply and complete the associated screening/assessment process.

Billing News

We encourage every family to check their ALMA account on a weekly basis.

Checking your account regularly will allow you to view any incidental charges and/or updates to your account and more importantly allow time if there are any adjustments that need to be made prior to the billing due date.

Please be reminded that monthly tuition billing will load to your account on the 1^st of each month. All charges are due by the 5^th of the month.

If your family is signed up for ACH, all monthly charges will draft on the 3^rd. Late payments will incur a 1.5% late fee charge. We appreciate your efforts and partnership to meet these expectations.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Business Office with any questions and/or concerns.

We have over 500 toys, but we need 1500 more to reach our goal.

Now through December 16th, bring in new, unwrapped, unopened toys for Orlando Area Children. Please be sure to look for the collection bins during the morning carpool. If you would like to learn more, please click here.
