Named after the cypress tree, an ancient and steady tree that has long been an icon in the Winter Haven community, the Cypress Junction Montessori School offers a science-based alternative to the traditional curricula of public schools. Founded in 2016, this fledgling institution provides self-directed education for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. Offering multi-aged, multi-grade classrooms that provide students with a non-competitive environment, this public charter school helps children cultivate independent thought, foundational skills and high self-esteem. Cypress Junction Montessori provides students with the tools necessary to take charge of their learning by utilizing hands-on materials to teach concepts in primary classrooms and student-directed explorations of materials in elementary classes. To help guide children on their educational journey, highly qualified, Montessori-trained teachers observe, encourage and mentor each student, directing their learning and designing specific lessons to ensure that students reach their full potential. The school uses a random lottery process to choose students who apply for admittance into Cypress Junction Montessori. In addition to its public charter school, Cypress Junction Montessori offers free voluntary pre-K and a tuition-based preschool, summer programs, and before and after-school care. With just under 200 students, this close-knit school offers a supportive environment that encourages each student's natural curiosity and fosters a love of learning.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
