Windermere Preparatory School (WPS) is a private, PreK-12 college preparatory institution located in Windermere, FL (34786) at 6189 Winter Garden -Vineland Road. The school is part of the Nord Anglia Education global network and is the only school in Central Florida to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. WPS enrolls approximately 1,600 students representing over 60 nationalities, with both day student and boarding options available. The school has earned recognition in national rankings for academic excellence. Day student tuition is approximately $29,950; boarding fees are significantly higher. Families should contact the school directly for current tuition, admission requirements, and availability.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous and internationally recognized college preparatory curricula available. For families who specifically seek IB education — whether for academic rigor, international college applications, or the global perspective it cultivates — Windermere Prep's position as Central Florida's only full IB Diploma school makes it a unique destination. Families relocating from IB-rich markets in New York, California, and internationally often identify WPS as the primary reason for choosing the Windermere corridor.
The WPS campus at 6189 Winter Garden-Vineland Road sits near the Horizon West and Windermere residential corridors. Most Windermere and Horizon West addresses are within 10–15 minutes. Dr. Phillips is 15–20 minutes via the Turnpike. Lake Nona , Winter Park , and Maitland families who specifically choose WPS commit to 25–35 minute commutes — a trade-off that WPS-committed families consistently make. BKRS helps families evaluate communities that balance WPS commute time with their other priorities.
