I have 2 children at Windermere Preparatory School in the Lower School grades. We have been here for 4 years and absolutely love the welcoming family that this school truly is. From the Headmaster, through the Administrative team, to the teachers down to the students and families - this school is one of the greatest communities we've ever been a part of. The school truly cares about my children as individuals. Their teachers have planned their curriculum around each of my child's strengths and weaknesses to give them the best possible education. We love Windermere Prep!
We are proud to be a part of the WPS family. This year my child transitioned to high school. It was an amazing year and I can honestly say my child has never been happier. We have watched our child progress both academically and socially. The Fine Arts and Athletics Departments have enhanced our experience and have assisted in making our child well-rounded. Sadly, our child has experienced a terrible experience in the high school theatre program. The drama teacher comes off aggressive and yells at students. It seems as though he is there for a paycheck rather than trying to nurture my child's interest in acting. We are thankful for the strong dance program and the dance teacher's guidance.
Windermere Preparatory School has many great and bad things. The school is overpriced for what you get, some teachers do not even teach (Most high school foreign language teachers and the Spanish teacher in MS hand us packets everyday while sitting at their desks doing nothing), the lack of Fine Arts, and steering you from academics to "fun activities" that have nothing to do with academics. Stepping away from the negatives, the school has many good things such as IB and high school counselors helping you get into college starting at a young age.
