Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf

Clearwater, FL Grades PreK-5
Deaf Hard of Hearing Private school

American Sign Language, spoken English and Montessori methods shape instruction at Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf. Our teachers adapt instruction and use the language that fits each child's learning needs. Small classes give children different ways to explore subjects. Our Clearwater students learn with peers who have varied hearing and communication experiences. We welcome deaf and hard of hearing children ages 3 to 15, from preschool through sixth grade. We also enroll siblings of deaf children, children with deaf parents and a limited number of hearing children. These groups participate in the school while teachers attend to their individual educational needs. Our admission decision concerns whether we can meet an individual child's educational needs. We work through that decision with the family and our school partners. If another placement would fit the child better, we recommend alternatives. Families can use Step Up for Students scholarships and ELC School Readiness assistance. We are a private nonprofit school. Donations and community support also help us fund our programs and classroom experience.
