Where Curiosity Meets the Coastline

Welcome to Coastal Glades Microschool

We believe every child is a capable, curious, and unique individual who thrives when given the freedom to explore, the space to grow, and the support of a caring community. Our whole-child approach blends personalized learning, daily outdoor exploration, and high academic standards.

Nature-Immersed Learning

Our days are filled with hands-on exploration of the ocean, Everglades, and surrounding ecosystems.
Children might examine mangrove roots up close, record wildlife sightings in field journals, or test water salinity during science lessons. These experiences help students develop a deep connection to their environment and a genuine curiosity about the natural world. Outdoor learning isn’t just a supplement—it’s central to how we engage students across subjects.

Montessori-Inspired Approach

We honor each child’s pace and passions through purposeful, joyful learning environments.
Inspired by Montessori principles, our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared with materials that encourage independence, discovery, and critical thinking. Students are given the freedom to make choices in their learning while receiving gentle guidance from their teachers. This fosters confidence, intrinsic motivation, and a love for lifelong learning.

Personalized Education

Small class sizes and individualized learning plans ensure your child is seen, supported, and challenged.
Teachers work closely with each student to understand their strengths, needs, and interests—adapting lessons accordingly. Whether a child needs extra support or is ready to stretch beyond grade-level content, we meet them where they are. This personalized attention allows for meaningful academic growth while nurturing emotional well-being.
