Park Maitland North Campus in Maitland, FL

More than five decades of educational excellence have shaped Park Maitland School into something rare: a school where deep tradition and forward-thinking pedagogy exist not in tension but in harmony. Our students are challenged to work with rigor, lead with character, and approach the world with genuine curiosity. The wonder-filled learning philosophy at the heart of a Park Maitland education is not a program or an add-on. It is the animating spirit of everything we do, and it produces students who love learning not because they are told to, but because they have experienced what learning at its best actually feels like.

Academic rigor is paired intentionally with robust arts programming, athletics, and leadership development, because we know that a student who grows only academically has not grown fully. At Park Maitland, students develop as thinkers, collaborators, leaders, and people of character. That comprehensive growth is what prepares them for the demands of education and life ahead.

Our rich calendar of signature experiences, from the beloved K-5 Mother’s Day Tea to the 1st Grade Festival of Nations and the 5th Grade Wax Museum, is designed with purpose: to build character, deepen community, and create the kind of shared memories that bind a school together across generations. These are not simply events. They are the living expression of what Park Maitland believes education should feel like.

We believe that a community rich in different perspectives, backgrounds, and identities is a more intellectually alive community, and our school is designed to reflect that belief. Students at Park Maitland learn to see difference as an asset, to engage across perspectives with curiosity and respect, and to build the inclusive instincts that will serve them throughout their lives.

Full-day kindergarten is not simply more time, it is the right amount of time. At Park Maitland, that time is spent with intention: building the academic skills, daily routines, and real-world confidence that make elementary school feel like an opportunity rather than a challenge. Our kindergartners do not simply study entrepreneurship; they visit a local farmers market and engage with it firsthand, discovering that what they learn in the classroom has genuine application in the world beyond it. That is the experience that builds lasting confidence. Explore our elementary curriculum to learn more.

Through our Learning Without Walls program, students travel to Colonial Williamsburg, St. Augustine, and New York City, bringing history, culture, and civic life to life in ways no textbook can replicate.
