Our Mission Home / About Us / Our Mission Our Story Park Maitland School was founded in 1968 by Mrs. Nell Cohen. She had a vision to create a nurturing and academically rigorous place where children could thrive. Over the years, the school has grown to three campuses, including here in Winter Park. With almost 60 years of excellence, Park Maitland continues to provide a dynamic private school experience. Our approach includes strong academics, character development, and social-emotional growth. We foster curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
