Montverde Academy
Montverde, Florida
Founded in 1912, Montverde Academy is a college preparatory, coeducational independent school. The school is situated at a gorgeous 125 acres campus bordering Lake Florence in central Florida.
Caring, nurturing and finely trained, our faculty are equipped to provide an unparalleled education with numerous opportunities for honors and advanced placement level work. Small class sizes serve as a catalyst for a close knit community where personal relationships serve as a valuable resource in advancing the learning process.

Opportunities outside the classroom are equally as important in the educational process, and Montverde Academy is pleased to offer a full complement of athletic and fine arts opportunities.
