Innovation Montessori Ocoee

Amazing Explorers Academy Windermere sits on Amazing Way in Ocoee and enrolls children from 6 weeks through 12 years old, drawing families from Windermere, Ocoee and Winter Garden. We open at 6:30 a.m. and close at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays to fit working parents' schedules. Our classrooms use STEAM Investigations, a curriculum of our own that draws on Reggio Emilia ideas and project-based learning. Toddlers mix individual and small group activities around early literacy, language and pre-STEAM skills, while 3s and 4s learn through guided projects and documentation boards. Four-year-olds can attend free Florida VPK here. Spanish, robotics and coding, culinary lessons, sports and Zen Zones mindfulness time are included at no extra charge, and meals and snacks follow the Amazing Choices program developed with Nemours Children's Health. School-age children come before and after school for homework help and STEAM activities, and summer camp runs weekly themes such as forensic science and engineering. Entry is by keypad, classrooms have live-stream cameras, and every staff member is background-checked and CPR and First Aid trained. Our license comes from the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Light Christian Academy started in 2009 as a ministry of Ocoee Church of God with fewer than 20 students and now serves more than 200. Our kindergarten through 12th grade classes meet on the campus of Quest Church in Gotha, and our youngest children attend Lil' Lights Preschool at Ocoee Church of God, which offers free VPK. Students in kindergarten through 5th grade learn with the teacher-led Abeka curriculum, and grades 6 through 12 use Accelerated Christian Education, a mastery-based program where students move at their own pace. Daily Bible instruction and Scripture memorization are part of every grade. Accelerated Christian Education has named us a Model Status school each year since 2011, and our K3 through 12th grade programs are accredited by the Church of God Association of Christian Schools. High school students can take dual enrollment courses. Middle and high school students compete in the Central Florida Athletic Conference in volleyball, basketball, flag football and soccer, and in academic bowls and fine arts competitions. Through Orange County, eligible students receive Title I services and speech and language services. We accept Step Up for Students and AAA scholarships.
