Haines City Schoolhouse

Learning That is Play-Based, Project-Driven, & Personalized

Not only is it possible…. at WonderHere, it is the standard.

WonderHere Schoolhouse is a small private school rooted in play-based, project-driven, and personalized learning. Through our Family-Style™ Schoolhouse structure inspired by Finnish, Montessori, and Reggio Emilia educational models, students build core academic skills while also exploring their individual interests with guidance from teacher mentors.

We offer both full-day and half-day options in a bright, open learning environment designed for connection and growth. All students receive daily instruction in language arts, math, and science/history, along with time for project-based learning and play.

Full-time students also enjoy lunch, outdoor play, and the option to join an afternoon elective class for an additional cost.

Available Programs

Elementary

In our elementary Schoolhouse, students begin with a Montessori-style Work Cycle, where they build skills, explore interests, and develop independence, focus, and ownership of their learning across areas like science, history, technology, and project work.

After this time, students move into their multi-age classrooms for core academics, guided by individualized learning plans tailored to their needs. This balance allows for both self-directed discovery and strong academic growth.

Enrichment

WonderHere offers optional enrichment classes throughout the week, including Physical Education, STEM, and Dance, with both morning and afternoon options available. We also offer Friday School, a one of a kind community experience where children gather in multi-age classrooms for cooking, gardening, nature studies, project time, and more. These add-ons are designed to complement your child’s learning journey, build community, and make every day at WonderHere feel like an adventure.

Leadership Cohort

The Leadership Cohort is an intentional, multi-year program designed for middle school students who are ready to grow in responsibility, character, and real-world competence. This program blends academic robustness, project-based learning, apprenticeships, and reflection to help students develop confidence, initiative, and purpose.

This is not a traditional academic program. Progress is measured through performance, reflection, and growth over time.
