Children's Montessori School is a Montessori preschool in Naples at 2535 Northbrooke Plaza Dr, established in 1998 and serving the Naples community for more than 25 years. The school follows the Montessori philosophy with experienced educators and classrooms designed for self-paced, hands-on learning. Children's Montessori School is scheduled to close at the end of the 2026 school year and is not registering students for summer 2026 or the 2026-2027 school year. Families currently enrolled or exploring remaining openings should contact the school directly about availability through the final year of operation. Submit an inquiry through the Special Needs USA listing to ask about remaining Montessori enrollment and program details at Children's Montessori School in Naples.

First Baptist Academy in Naples offers a Christian education from preschool through grade 12. Our program brings students from early childhood through high school into one school community, with academic instruction grounded in the academy’s faith-based approach. This is a general school program; specialized learning or therapy services are not described here.

Five parents who wanted a classical education for their own children started Mason Classical Academy in Naples, and the Collier County School Board authorizes us as a public charter, free of tuition. We opened in August 2014 and serve kindergarten through 12th grade, with admission by lottery and automatic re-enrollment for current students. Kindergarten through 8th grade follows the Core Knowledge Sequence, with Direct Instruction reading and skill-grouped math. History is taught in chronological order from the ancients to the modern era, and literature, art, music and science follow the same timeline, so students study each period three times at increasing depth. Latin begins in 6th grade, and original texts and civics run through the upper grades. For 2026-27, younger students moved into a new K-8 building on Vanderbilt Beach Road, and the Northbrooke campus on Immokalee Road is becoming a stand-alone high school with a new gym for basketball and volleyball. The Vanderbilt campus has a soccer field, and a school bus carries athletes between campuses. Aftercare runs at both campuses, lunch can be ordered from local vendors, and all school supplies are provided.
